I'm working my way through Michael Swaine's book on REALbasic and am now
working on the sample HTML editor Project.
The problem I've run into is that I can't get the menuitem keyboard
shortcut Ctrl + < to work for he Less Than MenuItem.. (I'm running RB
2006r1 on Windows XP.)
The Language Reference says this under "Keyboard shortcut for the MenuItem":
"In the Menu Editor, you assign the KeyboardShortCut property using the
Key, MenuModifier, AlternateMenuModifier, MacControlKey, MacOptionKey,
and PCAltKey properties rather than dealing directly with this property."
It also says this:
"See the section on the keyboard shortcut in the Notes section."
But where do I find the Notes section in the Language Reference?
I've also read the "MenuItem" entry, but although I've tried just about
every possible combination of settings I can think of, I can't seem to
get Ctrl + < to work. (Part of the problem is probably that < is not
exactly a key, but Shift plus a key.)
Now, Swaine's book covers RB up to version 5. Since he suggests Ctrl +
< as a shortcut (well, actually Cmd + <, since he's working with a
Macintosh), presumably Ctrl + < was a possible shortcut then. Is it
also possible with RB 2005 and RB 2006?
I also checked Matt Neuberg's book, but he doesn't even seem to cover
menu keyboard shortcuts at all. (Perhaps they hadn't even come into
existence by RB 3, which is the last version of RB that he covers.)
I've never had trouble with MenuItem keyboard shortcuts before (but I've
never used anything other than an alphabetic shortcut before).
Any advice?
