Hello!

Whenever I press the alt-gr sign in a control that belongs to a radribbonbar, the shortcut-menu with numbers are shown, which is an intersting feature. However, if I'm for example in a propertygrid and want to type something that requires the alt-gr button to be pressed (e.g. $,@,€ and £ on my swedish keyboard layout), it will make the propertygrid lose focus and I have to click it again to continue writing.

How do I solve this the easiest way, is it possible to disable the hotkey-function?

Best Regards, 

Joel Sanderi

Hello Joel Sanderi,

Thank you for contacting us.

Your case made us do some tests with non-US localization settings and I have to agree that our tool does not behave promptly. We will consider increasing the delay which we have to show the key maps. Currently, I would suggest to set the EnableKeyMap property to false. This will disable the keymap feature.  

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
 

Sincerely yours,
Nick

Hello, thanks for your support in this matter.

I had to double-check this, but the RadRibbonBar already has its property EnableKeyMap set to false.

Do I have to edit any other controls or properties?

Thanks in advance, 

Joel

Hello Joel Sanderi,

It should be just that - turn off the KeyMap feature.

Please see the sample application that is attached. Do you experience any problem with it and is this the case you are reviewing? 

Do not hesitate to contact me back if you have further questions.

All the best,

How to set the EnableKeyMap false to a RadButton. This is not working for a RadButton.

Note:
Shortcut key should work when i press a Alt+Key.
