Parameters

The character to process.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the character was processed as a mnemonic by the control; otherwise, false.
Remarks

The ProcessMnemonic method is called to give a control the opportunity to process a mnemonic character. This method should determine whether the control is in a state to process mnemonics and whether the given character represents a mnemonic. If so, the method should perform the action associated with the mnemonic and return true. If not, the method should return false.

Implementations of this method often use the Control..::.IsMnemonic method to determine whether the given character matches a mnemonic in the control's text.

This default implementation of the ProcessMnemonic method simply returns false, to indicate that the control has no mnemonic.
