ShortCut specifies a keyboard shortcut
Member of Menu Item (PRIM_MITM)
Data Type - Enumeration

Details

\\
The ShortCut property defines the key combination used to fire the click event for the menu item.
 \\
If the menu item is part of a [Popup menu|PRIM_PMNU] the short cut will not work.
 \\
Preferred short cuts are Ctrl+\[A-Z\] combinations or function keys. It is possible to set the shortcut key to Alt+\[A-Z\], but this is not recommended because as a rule Alt+\[A-Z\] combinations are used as the access key based on the underlined letter of the caption.
 \\
F1 will initiate the default LANSA runtime help interface. Use the [PRIM_APP.iHelpHandler|PRIM_APP.IHelpHandler] interface to implement a different help mechanism.

Allowed Shortcuts


ShortCut has many available combinations. See the Feature Viewer (F2) or autocomplete in the IDE for additional information.
