Group and Item shortcuts

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I'm in desparate need of assistance and/or ideas!!! I'm running the 2006 Q2 version of the ActiveX dll in VC++ 6.
My problem is that I want to have shortcuts to the task panel items and groups.

I can trap the key pressed but I would like to illustrate this to the use. The standard MS way is to prefix shortcut chars with an ampersand (&) and the following character will be underlined.

If I put an ampersand in the item text it appears .

Any ideas? I don't want to change the font to a fixed size with a '(Alt-A)' after each item as we use Ariel elsewhere and need to be consistant. (And anyway Visual Sudio Crashes when I try to change the font in the designer, and at run time it ignores it!). I was going to use the multi column support but this just halves the task panel and I only need the right most part to be thin in order to hold the '(Alt-A)'.

Is there an custom drawing that I can perform? I REALLY need this!!!!

Please help!

  John
