TabControl and keyboard shortcuts

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

   Mnemonics (or keyboard Alt-Letter shortcuts) are very useful to avoid mouse clicks. 

It seems that the Tab Control (TabControl) can display (with an underline) those shortcuts but do not respond to them (i.e. tabs don't get selected)

I could hard-code these using the form_keydown event, but with multi-language support, this can get messy. I could also scan the process the tab caption and trigger the tab selection myself, but again this is significant work...

But it would be much simpler if the tab control would simply process these shortcuts, as does the MS one. 

BTW: I'm always puzzled when I discover that your "advanced controls" don't have some of the features of "stock controls"... transparent background of labels is another such one
