Accelerators within a dialog

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

   Scenario: A SDI application, having several modal dialog boxes with local CodeJock menubars, toolbars, statusbars.
No I want to add accelerators to the menu items in the dialog.
I managed to do it the way I found it in the "DialogSample" in the "%PROGRAM_FILES\Codejock Software\MFC\Xtreme Toolkit Pro v9.60\Samples\CommandBars\DialogSample" folder.
What I am missing: In the main window of my SDI application, the CodeJock library automatically writes the actual shortcuts beside the menu items. Whereas in the "DialogSample" application they are hardcoded in the IDR_MAINFRAME resource.
Question: Is it possible to "tell" a menubar which accelerator-resource to use and let the menubar do all the accelerator-handling (include writing to the menu items and command routing) from within a child dialog box?
Thanks
Uwe

	try this declare oin .h HACCEL m_hAccel; add your your dlg.cpp: CMyDlg::CMyDlg() : CDialog(CMyDlg::IDD, 0) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CMyDlg) ... ... m_hAccel = ::LoadAccelerators(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MY_DLG_ACCELERATORS)); ... } where: IDR_MY_DLG_ACCELERATORS = your accelerator table you wish to associate with the dlg.

	bevpet, thank you, but this is from the example as I'm already doing.
