GroupControl - Double ampersand doesn't escape and is displayed as &&

GroupControl - Two ampersands are displayed as '&&'

created 10 years ago

We are upgrading our application from 13.1 to 15.1 libraries.

We have noticed a change in how &'s are handled in the Group Control's text field.  It used to require && to display a single & but now it is only requireing a single & and all of the controls we have using the double && are displaying 2 characters.  Is there a property we can set to use the old way so we dont have to look through our entire application to fix this in every individual instance?

Hello,

We have already been informed about this issue, and it is fixed in version 15.1.6 of our controls. Please refer to the GroupControl - Double ampersand doesn't escape and is displayed as && thread for more information.
Should you have additional questions, let us know.

        Hello,

        Thank you for the sample. I was able to reproduce this issue on my side. As I see, in your first post, you have mentioned GroupControl, but in your application I see LayoutControl with a LayoutControlGroup. So, to process your recent post more efficiently, I have created a new thread on your behalf - LayoutControlGroup - Double ampersand doesn't escape and is displayed as &&. Let's discuss it there.
