I have two keybindings for my "find" button, Ctrl+F and F3. No matter which order I register them, F3 always comes up in the menu as the shortcut key - but I would prefer to show Ctrl+F.

Is there any way to force this to happen?

Use the 'ShortcutText' property of the control.  This will set the text that is displayed to indicate the shortcut that will fire the command.

This technique can only be used if you don't allow customization of your commands by the end user.  Otherwise, they may change the setting (and Codejock doesn't provide any interface to know which keybindings are mapped to which commands).

I'll try that, but according to the docs:

"This property is obsolete and is not used anymore"

OK, that worked inside the menu but not for the tooltip. A decent enough workaround for now...

Another workaround would be to create two "find" menu items each with their own keybinding.  Make the F3 menu item invisible.  In the execute function, just duplicate the code for the two menu items or have one menu item call the execute function again with the CommandBarControl of the other menu item.  I do this when I have two menu items that do the same thing.

They restored (or altered) the functionality in one version not too long ago to serve this purpose.  They never updated the documentation.
