This is something that we commonly do to add hotkey functionality...and this is the root level so it will trump anything else.</P><P>This is a method on any control, so you could either inherit the MaintenanceFormToolstrip and add it there...or if this is more of a one time thing then you could just do it in the form. In either case, the code would be the same:</P><P>[codesnippet]Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean<BR>Select Case keyData<BR> Case Keys.Alt Or Keys.N<BR> '-- It is always a good idea to supply a result in the message<BR> msg.Result = IntPtr.Zero<BR> <BR> '-- Perform your logic<BR> ' TODO</P><P> '-- Return out of the method<BR> Return True</P><P>End Select</P><P>'-- Perform the default logic here<BR>Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)<BR>End Function[/codesnippet]Mon, 05 May 2008 09:45:30 GMTTrent L. Taylorhttp://forum.strataframe.net/Topic16129-7-1.aspxIs there a way that I could setup a hotkey so that when a user presses ALT-N? Like a hotkey I could bind to the New button on the MaintenanceToolstrip?Mon, 05 May 2008 08:19:52 GMTStarkMike
