Hi Prasanta,

1521 * For example, for Windows look and feel, mnemonic will be underlined
1522 * only when ALT key is pressed.

I'm not sure that mentioning Windows L&F in that way is justified. This 
behavior may vary. In Windows L&F mnemonics hiding depends on the 
"Button.showMnemonics" value which in its turn is determined from the 
native desktop settings.
