# IMnemonicControl interface

Namespace: [Eto.Forms](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/namespace/eto.forms.md) · Assembly: [Eto](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/assembly/eto.md) · Since v2.10

```cs
public interface IMnemonicControl
```

Common interface for controls that support mnemonics (e.g. & character in text)

**Remarks:** Not all platforms support mnemonics, such as macOS. However, you can still show the mnemonic character in the text by using the & character.

**Derived types:** [Button](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.button.md), [Button.IHandler](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.button.ihandler.md), [CheckBox](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.checkbox.md), [CheckBox.IHandler](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.checkbox.ihandler.md), [Label](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.label.md), [Label.IHandler](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.label.ihandler.md), [RadioButton](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.radiobutton.md), [RadioButton.IHandler](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.radiobutton.ihandler.md)
