Thanks for that tip, Tim. Worked beautifully! My application, however, also have a number of Canvases in a TabNavigator. I am trying to modify your example to also allow me to underline one letter of the Canvas label property, so that the user can see what shortcut key will access each tab as easily as the buttons.
The problem is that the textField property does not exist, and I do not know how to work around this.
