My problem is that when assigning 3 or more shortcuts it comes out "None" even though I have referenced how to initialize the shortcut for RadMenu

This is my code and result image

Thank for reading


            

this.FSaveAs.Name = "FSaveAs"; this.FSaveAs.Text = "Save As"; this.FSaveAs.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.FSaveAs_Click); this.FSaveAs.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.Shift, Keys.S));

 Hello, Hoang,

The RadMenuItem internally has a RadMenuItemLayout. Its Shortcut TextPrimitive is bound to the Shortcuts collection:

layout.Shortcut.BindProperty(TextPrimitive.TextProperty, this, RadMenuItem.HintTextProperty, PropertyBindingOptions.OneWay);

The Shortcuts.GetDisplayText() method controls what will be displayed by default.

The menu item's Text displays what is set to the RadMenuItem.HintText property: 

            this.radMenuItem1.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.Shift, Keys.S));
            this.radMenuItem1.HintText = "Ctrl + Shift + S";

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

It shows up normally, but when I press the shortcut, it doesn't work, what's wrong with my code?

Hello,  Hoang,

The first parameter in the RadShortcut constructor is the key modifier. The rest of the passed keys are the key mappings. However, Control and Shift are both key modifiers. Hence, if you want to the shortcut combination to be Ctrl+Shift+S, the proper way to define it is as follows:

this.radMenuItem1.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control | Keys.Shift, Keys.S));

This will trigger the menu item's Click event on my end:

 Should you have further questions please let me know.
