Menu accelerators not responding.

[Elias Montoya]

In my compiled program, If i click the menu options they commands work OK, but if i press the keyboard shortcut, nothing happens. For example, "find" is F3. clicking menu command works OK,
but pressing F3 does nothing. The focus is in EDM32. Any ideas why?

[Roger Garstang]

Does EDM32 capture the F3 already?  Try another key combo to see if it works.  Usually Alt+keys do other things too, so try something like Ctrl+F and see if it works, then you know it is the control and you will need to process it in there and ignore it or pass it to the form.

Is the EDM32 control on a modal or non-modal form?

[Elias Montoya]

Roger, No. and yes. other key works. just f3 does not.

Paul, non-modal. I know that opens way for trouble. What should i look for?

[Paul Squires]

just f3 does not.

Are you running a modified version of EDM32? It seems odd that other keys work but F3 does not. Also, did you add any code to FF_PumpHook to filter the F3 key?

[Roger Garstang]

Might check for other apps creating some type of global capture too. Screen Capture programs, or maybe some Search Bar since F3 is often used to search.

[Elias Montoya]

Paul, that was it, the pumphook had some unnecessary code that was bloking f3.

Thanx!

Unfortunately that didnt work for ALT+F... i will see whats going on. By the way,
is there a way to add custom shortcuts? im a bit rusty with menus.
