The sources specifically look for buttons only. So its by design. I'd have to check the reason why it was limited to only buttons. I suppose we could add this as a feature, please submit a ticket for this to be added.]]> Tue, 01 Oct 2013 10:55:42 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21311&PID=71646&title=no-accelerator-shown-for-radio-button-in-menu#71646 <![CDATA[No accelerator shown for radio button in menu : Well I don't see why your...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21311&PID=71636&title=no-accelerator-shown-for-radio-button-in-menu#71636 Author: TomasS

Well I don't see why your code would only draw it for buttons. The need for keyboard shortcuts does not go away just because they are radio buttons. We have the group of radio buttons both in a menu and the toolbar in our app. F Keys are assigned to all of them. It is important that our users learn to use these keyboard shortcuts and therefore we want them in the menu, since that's where you look for them. We also need to have them as radio buttons since they represent states that can be on and off.

The Keyboard shortcut/Accelerator key/(ie F8, F9 etc) works and can be seen on the radio button tooltip on the toolbar just like the regular buttons, but not in the menu. It's a bug.

We also do "check" the items using it's Icon but that is not even related to and no replacement for the Keyboard shortcut.

The code only draws these for buttons. I'm not sure why you would need radio buttons in a popup menu, why not just check/uncheck the items like is done in allot of the theme popup menus in the samples?]]> Mon, 23 Sep 2013 09:57:40 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21311&PID=71625&title=no-accelerator-shown-for-radio-button-in-menu#71625 <![CDATA[No accelerator shown for radio button in menu : Still the same problem in 16.2.4......]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=21311&PID=71612&title=no-accelerator-shown-for-radio-button-in-menu#71612 Author: TomasS

If I set a command bar control to type xtpControlRadioButton its accelerator/keybinding no longer shows in the menu. Setting it to other types makes it show.

The accelerator still shows in the tooltip of the toolbar if the same command is in there too. The accelerator still works.

How can I get it to show in my menu while still have it as a radio button?

Using 15.3.1 ActiveX in VB6. Implementing as menu and toolbar, not ribbon.

This is how it looks when having the 3 last items as radio buttons:

And this is how it looks when I set them as regular command buttons:
