How to put mnemonic under the second instance of a Character (Java-Swing)?

Question

I have a JButton named button1 with text "Alter Today".

I want to set a mnemonic under 'T' in the word 'Today' of this button (that is second instance of 't' or 'T' in 'Alter Today').

When I am trying to do:

button1.setMnemonic(6);

I am not able to see underlined 'T'.

When I am doing:

button1.setMnemonic('T');

it is still underlining 't' in the word 'Alter'.

How to do it?

Try this -

bt.setMnemonic('T');

bt.setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(6);

Hope that helps :)

But, even here, we have to write both (bt.setMnemonic('T'); bt.setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(6);) Writing just one of those 2 statements doesn't help. – Vikram Jul 12 '11 at 15:52

JButton button = new JButton("Alter Today");
button.setMnemonic('T');
// or button.setMnemonic(6);
// or button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_T);

Tried this. This one is underlining first instance of 'T'...not the second instance. – Vikram Jul 11 '11 at 21:41
@Vikram How about `button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_T);` – Eng.Fouad Jul 11 '11 at 21:44
This will still do the first "t", in the word "Alter", not the "T" in the word "Today". – camickr Jul 11 '11 at 21:59
