Hi,
I need to put a underoot symbol on dialog that i am creating in vb6 and i copy √ symbol from charactar map and when i paste it on the label in the dialog box a ? appears instead of the √ symbol. Any idea what should be done?
Regards
A:
You need to change the font family of your dialog to the one that has the underroot symbol. For example the wingdings or other

set your font family to arial and hold alt key and then type 251

i think you didn't read my comment properly. i asked to press the alt keyIts the key next to space bar key. usually under 'x'.

using numeric keypad press alt and 251 and it works not the number key above characters. if using latop then press fucntion key and find numeric key over alphabet keys
