i am new to inno setup and creating an installer using inno setup. in this , is there any possibility to indicate hot keys by some means like underlining it ?
for example , while showing license agreement, 'a' is hot key for accepting license and 'd' is for dont accept license.
i want this page as 'a' in accept agreement and 'd' in dont accept... should be underlined. Is there any chance to do that ?

The built-in pages already have this; Windows simply hides the hotkey markers until you press Alt.

Default Windows UI elements determine hotkeys by marking the hotkey character (Alt + ...) with an &.
For examble, in your case the UI text will most likely be something like &Accept and &Don't accept, which would result in the A and D being shown underlined and the shortcuts Alt + A and Alt + D being assigned. It doesn't have to be the very first character in a string, so something like C&ancel will work as well.
If there are multiple elements with the same hotkey, using the key combination allows you to switch between these elements (similar to how Tab works).
However, depending on system settings, it's possible to hide those shortcuts by default (got introduced some time in the Windows 98 days I think). They'll only appear once you hit Alt by default, which may be changed under Ease of Access -> Keyboard in Control Panel.

thank you grawity , is there any way to unhide the hotkeys automatically (without pressing Alt key) whenever license agreement opens ? – beginner – 2014-08-05T06:24:05.757
It's a system setting. I'm not sure you can force it for your program on some other PC. – Mario – 2014-08-05T06:25:12.110
