Shortcuts and Function keys

[Roland]

Hello,

How do I set the function keys with the Shortcuts control ?

I want my search to be invoked by F3

Hello Roland,

Please refer to the following section of our documentation. Since the shortcuts dialog does not allow single key (e.g. F3), you can set some key combination and then go in the Designer.cs file of your form where you can replace the key string with "F3".

I tried that before posting here.

Does not work in the 2009.2.9.729. I am setting the command on the button.

Hello Roland,

Thank you for your bug report. I checked the commands with RadMenuItems and it seems that they work with them but do not work with RadButton. We will try to provide a fix in future.

What I can suggest currently is to use an IMessageFilter and PerformClick method:

this.radButton1.PerformClick();

You need to implement IMessageFilter in the following way:

 public partial class Form5 : Form, IMessageFilter
    {
        public Form5()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        #region IMessageFilter Members

        bool IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
        {
            if (m.Msg == 0x100 && m.WParam == new IntPtr(0x72))
            {
                this.radButton1.PerformClick();
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }

        #endregion

        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Button1 clicked");
        }
    }

The 0x100 message is WM_KEYDOWN and the 0x72 is the F3 key.

The last bit is to attach the filter:

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Form5 form = new Form5();
    Application.AddMessageFilter(form);
    Application.Run(form);
}

I hope that this solution will work for you until we fix the Commands. Thank you very much for your patience.

Best wishes,
