RadPageView Strip mode shortcut for tabs

[Patryk]

Hi,

I have a problem. We have migrated from old library to RadPageView and everything is working, except ShortCuts to specific tabs. In previous library we had feature that, we can add & before letter and it has been using as a shortcut to this tab. Also this char has underline under themselves. Is if possible to do it in Telerik? I was looking for it, but without success

Thank you in advice for any answers.

Best regards,

Patryk

Hello, Patryk,

In order to achieve this, you should first set the UseMnemonic property to true. Then set the text for the RadPageViewPage with "&" that will draw an underscore under the letter. Then, add the desired shortcut to the Shortcuts collection and perform the desired action. I prepared a sample demonstration for your reference:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radPageView1.ViewElement.UseMnemonic = true;
    radPageViewPage1.Item.Text = "&New";
    radPageViewPage1.Item.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Alt, Keys.E));
    radPageViewPage1.Item.Click += this.Item_Click;
}

private void Item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radPageView1.SelectedPage = (sender as RadPageViewItem).Page;
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Hi Nadya,

It is very helpful but I have one extra problem. I build it dynamically, 

01.var temp = new RadPageViewPage(itemTitle);
02.
03.if (itemTitle.Contains("&"))
04.{
05.    var shortcutCharIndex = itemTitle.IndexOf('&') + 1;
06.    var shortcutChar = itemTitle[shortcutCharIndex];
07.    Keys k = (Keys)char.ToUpper(shortcutChar);
08.
09.    temp.Item.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, k));
10.
11.}
12.temp.Name = itemKey;
13.tabctlHeader.Pages.Add(temp);

And in line 9 I have NullPointerException, because I don't have an item. What is the proper way to build it?

Thank you in advance

Best regards,

Patryk

Hello, Patryk,

You should first add the RadPageViewPage to the RadPageView.Pages collection. Then, add the shortcuts:

var temp = new RadPageViewPage(itemTitle);
radPageView1.Pages.Add(temp);

if (itemTitle.Contains("&"))
{
    var shortcutCharIndex = itemTitle.IndexOf('&') + 1;
    var shortcutChar = itemTitle[shortcutCharIndex];
    Keys k = (Keys)char.ToUpper(shortcutChar);

    temp.Item.Shortcuts.Add(new RadShortcut(Keys.Control, k));

}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
