Hello

I have a menu in which I want to show custom shortcut text. This shortcut text does not exist in accelerator table because the shortcut text is configurable by the user.

Example: if the user configures "Ctrl+Shift+F" for finding, then I will show "Find\tCtrl+Shift+F" in the menu. I will modify the menu item using the ModifyMenu API before calling TrackPopupMenu

The XTP framework removes the "\tCtrl+Shift+F" text because it is not found in the accelerator table.

How do I stop XTP from removing the short text that I have added to the menu.

Regards,
Gautam Jain

Thanks.

I got another alternative.

In OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl) I write the following code


if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_MENU_FIND)
{
    CXTPControlButton *pButton = new CXTPControlButton();
    pButton->SetShortcutText(_T("Ctrl+Shift+F"));
    lpCreateControl->pControl = pButton;
    return TRUE;
}
