Menu Accelerator Key Underlines Missing in Context Menu
If you're running 2000 or XP, the menu accelerators are not underlined by
default unless you use the keyboard to open the menus on the normal menus. I
suspect the same is true for popup menus. I don't know of a way to force
the underlines to be visible short of changing a system setting with
SetKeyboardCues() before and after calling TrackPopupMenu()
