Accelerator keys in VB.NET

Author	Message
Tom #1 / 3	Accelerator keys in VB.NET What is the best way to handle accelerator keys in .NET? Is there some automatic setting to enable and catch this, or do we have to write code (i.e. in the OnKeyDown sub for the form)? Basically, if they hit an accelerator key (such as Ctrl-A) on the form I want it to 'press' the Clear button I have defined on the form. Thanks. Tom

Define a hidden menu and select the accelerator in the items' Shortcut property. Then you can add the code into the click event handler of the menu item. Regards, Herfried K. Wagner

Joe Fallo #3 / 3	Accelerator keys in VB.NET One way is to put a & in front of the letter in the Text property. e.g. for a button labeled Start if you write &Start then the S will be underlined and will appear when you press the Alt key. -- Joe Fallon Quote: > What is the best way to handle accelerator keys in .NET?
