For example, i have a text box to enter Name of employee, then i want to have its prompt as "Na&me". This should make a shortcut for the this text box so that if i want to go directly to this box then i will press, Alt+m as there letter "m" will be underlined in the prompt "Name".

This is the same idea which is being used for buttons and menus.
