Shortcuts Issue

[Eric]

Hi, I assigned the shortcut of Ctrl + S to a btn_save_Click, and it works most of the time.  However, when I run a child window, press Ctrl + S while the child has focus, and return to the parent form, the shortcut no longer works.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,

Can you verify that this is happening only with our controls? I believe that when you activate the first form, the button does not have the focus, so the shortcut is not activated. Try setting the ActiveControl property of the form to the button instance and tell us how it goes.

All the best,

Thanks for replying.

When I open the child form, no problems occur with shortcuts on the parent unless I press one of the set shortcuts.  No matter how much I click and press keys, nothing goes wrong, until I press a shortcut chord.

I also tried setting the ActiveControl property, but was unable to do it.

I used 

this

.ActiveControl = btn_launchGraph;

but it didn't work.  Is there another way?


Thanks in advance.
