I have created a menu system for the main form which works fine but the entered accelerators are not displaying and working. For example, the File menu is entered as &File. The menu displays and pulls down but an underscore is not displayed under the F in File and Alt-F does not pull down the menu.
Ctrl-A works to bring up the about form.
What needs to be done to make all the accelerators work?
Hi,
Accelerators should work without any problems. The fact that you do not see the underscore is due to a setting built into the newer versions of Windows itself (Control Panel -Display -Appearance -Effects). Pressing and holding down the Alt key should display the underscore.
Maybe you have a second menu with the Alt+F accelerator also defined?
If you wish, you can zip up your project and attach it to a post here or email it to me and I'll track down the source of the problem in a few minutes (hopefully). :)
You were correct. Simply pressing the Alt key brought up the underscores. I thought I tried that and it did not work. Wonder if it required FireFly to be restarted? No matter, it is working now.
Thanks
