Hotkey for themedlinkmenu items.

Keith Gordijn — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:39:00 GMT

Hi All,

Is it possible to assign a hotkey to a themedlinkmenu item so the menu is more keyboard friendly? I cannot find anyway of doing this and cannot find anything in the forums but I am good at missing things.

Cheers, Keith

Keith, glad that got you going. Trent, I agree...sounds like a good idea for an enhancement! :D

At present, no. We would have to render this text differently that we presently are in order for this to take effect. Maybe something to add to the list of enhancements ;)

Thanks Greg, this explains how to capture and process shortcut key. :)

On the visual side is there away to create the hotkey underscore on a themedlinkmenu item? I have tried the &Caption to give me [u]C[/u]aption but this doesn't give me the underscore in a themedlinkmenu item.

Cheers.

I believe you'll have to handle ProcessCmdKey, as described here:
