Kryboard shortcut as caption in Menu

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

   Hello
I am trying to implement a pop up menu using CXTPcontrolpopUp and adding cxptcontrol to it . I need to append the keyboard shortcut associated with the cxtpcontrol.
the caption I gave is as below:-
"&New...\tCtrl+N"
SetCaption function of cxtpcontrol breaks the caption from "\t" and puts the caption as "New..." and the shortcut part is set as shortcuttextauto.
Is there any way I can get the caption of menu item as "&New...\tCtrl+N"

Thanks so much in advance

	You should let Codejock build the shortcut strings from the defined accelerators. This way is much easier than hard-coding them and handles customized keyboard shortcuts, which hard coding will not. First, be sure to set this option in the CXTPCommandBars that hosts the popup: GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShowContextMenuAccelerators For using an regular accelerator resource (not designer shortcuts), you need to call: GetCommandBars()->GetShortcutManager()->SetAccelerators(ACCELERATOR_RESOURCE_ID); from the main frame's OnCreate(). Be sure to call it before loading the layout's user customizations.
