Hi,
I'm using a ribbon bar to give me the nice Big O system button, but then I'm using standard ButtonPopup's to build the rest of the menu. (This is to keep a "corporate" feel about it). Does anyone know why the ShowKeyboardTips does not work for these menus? 
Cheers My Example Code Private Sub MDIForm_Load() Dim objRibbon As RibbonBar Dim objPopup As CommandBarPopup CommandBarsGlobalSettings.App = App ' SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Styles\" & "Vista.cjstyles", "NORMALBLACK2.INI" ' SkinFramework1.ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyMetrics Or xtpSkinApplyFrame Or xtpSkinApplyColors Or xtpSkinApplyMenus '#100404 DB added xtpSkinApplyMenus ' SkinFramework1.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd ' CommandBarsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Styles\" & "Office2007Black.dll" CommandBars1.EnableActions CommandBars1.VisualTheme = xtpThemeOffice2007 With CommandBars1.Options .KeyboardCuesShow = xtpKeyboardCuesShowAlways .KeyboardCuesUse = xtpKeyboardCuesUseNone .ShowKeyboardTips = True End With ' Create ribbon bar Set objRibbon = CommandBars1.AddRibbonBar("RB") objRibbon.EnableDocking xtpFlagStretched objRibbon.EnableFrameTheme ' Quick Access objRibbon.QuickAccessControls.Add XtremeCommandBars.XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, 11, "Purchase" objRibbon.QuickAccessControls.Add XtremeCommandBars.XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, 12, "Parameters" ' Big O system button Set objPopup = objRibbon.AddSystemButton objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 1, "AAA" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 2, "BBB" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 3, "CCC" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 4, "DDD" ' Hire Menu Set objPopup = objRibbon.Controls.Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 100, "Hire") objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 101, "New Estimate" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 102, "New Hire" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 103, "Amend Hire" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 104, "Off Hire" ' Sale Menu Set objPopup = objRibbon.Controls.Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 200, "Sale") objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 201, "New Sale" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 202, "Amend Sale" ' Invoice Menu Set objPopup = objRibbon.Controls.Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, 300, "Invoice") objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 301, "New Invoice" objPopup.CommandBar.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, 302, "Amend Invoice" End Sub ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 18.5.0 Platform: Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |

I think you need to put an & character before the letter that you want to be the accelerator key when you are adding your controls. For example:
Will show I as a keyboard tip for the Invoice control. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hi jpbro,
That doesn't work. Ideally I want CodeJock to work out what tips to show (See screen shots).  
(Generated by using "CommandBars1.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add" with the CommandBars1.Options.ShowKeyboardTips on.) This is a really great bit of functionality! I don't need to maintain & in my menus, I don't need to worry about the translations for different languages and where to put the &. I want the quick access toolbar and the Big O system button but then just simple drop down menus as this has a very nice corporate feel about it. But I also want the "ShowKeyboardTips" 
Any ideas? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 18.5.0 Platform: Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |

Okay, I think I understand what you mean now. The Keyboard tips don't show for menu items when the SystemButton has been added to a Ribbon. Interestingly, the keyboard tips show for child controls of the menu items (for me at least). I suspect you will need to open a support ticket to discuss this with CJ. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Quick update. I've given 13.4.1 a quick test and the ShowKeyboardTips functionality has been added. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 18.5.0 Platform: Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |
