Remarks

Setting this property enables the AccessKeyDisplayRequested event to be raised.

If the AutomationProperties.AccessKey attached property is not set, this property is used by the Automation framework instead. The value is used as case-insensitive, using the user language. It is used as text, so if an Input Method Editor (IME) is active the composed text is used.
