RadButton AccessText Hotkey

[Daniel Schuessler]

How would you implement a hotkey for the Approve RadButton in the following code snippet?

          <telerik:RadButton Name="btApproveReport"  Click="btApproveReport_Click"  Margin="10,0,10,0" Width="Auto" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" MaxHeight="30" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" >
            <telerik:RadButton.Content>
              <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="4 0">
                <TextBlock Text="Approve"   Foreground="DarkGreen" FontSize="12" />
                <Image Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/CheckMark.png" Margin="5 0 0 0" Height="16" Width="16" />
              </StackPanel>
            </telerik:RadButton.Content>
          </telerik:RadButton>

Hi Daniel Schuessler,

The best approach for handing hotkeys is using Commands like follows.

<Window.InputBindings>
        <KeyBinding Modifiers="Control" Key="a" Command="ApplicationCommands.Open"/>
    </Window.InputBindings>
    <Window.CommandBindings>
        <CommandBinding Command="ApplicationCommands.Open" Executed="CommandBinding_Executed" CanExecute="CommandBinding_CanExecute"/>
    </Window.CommandBindings>
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadButton Name="btApproveReport" Command="ApplicationCommands.Open"  Margin="10,0,10,0" Width="Auto" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" MaxHeight="30" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" >
            <telerik:RadButton.Content>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="4 0">
                    <TextBlock Text="Approve"   Foreground="DarkGreen" FontSize="12" />
                    <!--<Image Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources/CheckMark.png" Margin="5 0 0 0" Height="16" Width="16" />-->
                </StackPanel>
            </telerik:RadButton.Content>
        </telerik:RadButton>
    </Grid>

And in the code behind:

private void CommandBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    //Your click handler.
}

private void CommandBinding_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    e.CanExecute = true;
}

Hope will works for you.

All the best,

Is there similar procedure for Silverlight?  We are looking to add some hot keys for button click events.
Thanks,
Subha
