Accelerator keys in CXTPMenuBar

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

   Hi all,

I'm using the commandbars in my CXTPFrameWnd derived window. Since I want to create the menubar myself, I won't be loading the menu from a resource (the CXTPCommandBar::LoadMenuBar() function), but from a CMenu * using CXTPCommandBar::LoadMenu(). 

Normally, my dialogs used CWnd::SetMenu() to create the menu, and adding an option with a String like: "New\tCtrl + N" would make a menu item with "New" as option name (aligned left) and "Ctrl + N" as it's shortcut key (aligned right). The LoadMenu function doesn't do this. Options with a tab in them are stripped of everything after the tab, so my users don't see the shortcut keys, only the option names.

LoadMenuBar does show the Shortcuts. I assume you're using the accelleratorkeys for this(?). Is it possible to get the shortcuts in menu's using the LoadMenu function?

Thanks a million!

Bob

	Hi, Call pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bAutoUpdateShortcuts = FALSE; but your users won't be able customize keys.
