Has anyone created keyboard shortcuts to buttons on a dialog ? If so, how did you do it ?

I have tried replace the dialog event handler with my own. It gets the mouse clicks, but keyboard events are not passed to the my event handler. They get intercepted before.

I have found an answer. And it out it can't be done.

I think the "&" is for menu entires keyboard shortcuts.

I have tried this. It does gives my eventhandler the keyboard focus. But it is lost again and not be reatored, if the user selects a text edit box or a dropdown on the dialog.

I have been looking at the IShortcutManager and the iShortcutContext, but have not yet been successful at getting it to work.

Do you by any chance mean those Windows specific Alt+Whatever shortcuts? I think you just add an "&" ampersand to the widget text and that's it. Could be I'm wrong, I haven't done any PC specific work for a while. Also remember, in CS4 some widgets have a flag in their resources whether the ampersand should be converted to an underline.

Hi

Thin you need to create your own Interface like IID_IYOUREVENTHANDLER and add it to kYourDialogBoss;

Then delegate all events like in CusDtLnkUITreeNodeEH
