We have several clients that heavily use keyboard short-cuts and they noticed that they are missing from key areas of Strataframe controls. In particular, the Maintenance Toolstrip lacks even the common Ctrl-S to save let alone navigation short-cuts. The BrowseDialog doesn’t have any accelerator keys to get from the search area to the list and then to Ok and Cancel quickly, without a mouse.



I know that I could add them myself but it would improve the "out of the box" experience of StrataFrame if I didn't have too. Is there a reason you didn't include them (localization or something)? Or, am I just missing the global “TurnOnKeybordShortCuts=True” property?

Greg,



That's an excellent answer. I'll do that in my base form. That way, it work regardless of what save option I am providing.



Thanks,

Scott

Exactly!

That is a great answer Greg...and totally correct! Not that you were ever doubted!



Just to add one thing in regards to the BrowseDialog. You have pretty much total control over this as well. You can set the shortcut keys for the AcceptKey, CancelKey, and SearchKey. But you can also force the focus to the results after a query is performed by setting the SetFocusToResultsAfterSearch property to True. Then after that it is just a matter of user the arrow keys to find the record and a Ctrl+Enter (by default) to accept the selected row.
