With regular buttons, the easiest way is to add an ampersand character to the Text property, immediately before the character you want to use:

C#

myButton.Text = "Hel&p";

When the user presses ALT+P, the button will be activated.

This also works with labels: they will activate the next control in the Tab Order , so a label with the text

C#

myLabel.Text = "&User Name:";

will activate the textbox after it when ALT+U is pressed.
