Putting shortcut keys on the right in menus

[BlackHoleSun]

How do I show the shortcut keys for menu items on the right-hand side of the menu like normal? For example, if I can press F5 to refresh a screen, it should be "right justified" in the drop down menu. You can see what I'm looking for by clicking the tools menu in SciTE and then you see the different options to the right of the description.

Just a guess, but could it be to do with $tagMENUITEMINFO which is settable via _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItemEx ?

BlackHoleSun,

Add a @TAB in the definition title:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

HotKeySet("^t", "_Test")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$mFileMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")

$mTestItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test" & @TAB & "Ctrl-T", $mFileMenu) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $mFileMenu)
$mExitItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $mFileMenu)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $mExitItem
            Exit
        Case $mTestItem
            _Test()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _Test()
    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "Working!")
EndFunc

All clear?

Brilliant, as always

Melba, you are awesome! I've used the @TAB before in a status bar, I don't know why I didn't think of it.

See, that's why I'm not a MVP.

But even MVPs can learn something new every day. Happened to me today

Clark,

Happens to me almost every day - and long may it continue.
