Description
Name: rv122619			Date: 03/15/2004

For normal good Windows applications, the cancel button has no mnemonic. This is because "cancel" is usually handled by the escape key as opposed to a mnemonic.
 Likewise, "OK" has no mnemonic because it is the default button and handled by the enter key.

EVALUATION The cancel button in the JFileChooser when running on Windows has a mnemonic. You can't see it by default but it's there when you hold down the Alt key. Native Windows apps don't have a mnemonic on the cancel button because the Escape key is always mapped to cancel on most any dialog. To fix this I have added a line to the windows.properties which sets the cancel button mnemonic to -1, which will remove the mnemonic at runtime.

EVALUATION Name: sh120115 Date: 03/16/2004 I agree. The native Windows JFileChooser has no mnemonic. I recently turned down adding mnemonics to the JColorChooser's OK and Cancel buttons for the same reasons given in the description. These mnemonics should be removed from JFileChooser. ###@###.### 2004-03-16 ======================================================================
