[Resolved] Hotkeys to Press Menuitems

[xeroTechnologiesLLC]

Greetings programmers!

I was trying to find out if it was possible to use hotkeys with menuitems. My temporary work around is to copy what the menuitem does into a seperate function and just using the hotkey with that function. But I was just curious if there was a way to use a hotkey (other than the alt keys which I already have built in) to press menu items and run the associated task with that menu button.

So far I have tried using

hotkeyset("^{F1}"), $menuitem1)

...but this doesn't work.

Again, currently I have the hotkey call a function that does everything I need, so it's not a big issue - just a curiosity.

Thanks for any thoughts on the matter.

Look at GUISetAccelerators in the Help file - should be just what you want. Come back if you run into difficulties.

Either way - Melba you did it again.

The accelerators were perfect and in use.

Tested and abused.
