Terry,
Unfortunately it seems Robert is right! It happens the same with my
projects - what a BIG mess! And this bug also happens with ComboBoxes.
I think I'm doing everything right when setting up menu items with
shortcuts. Example:
1. Create a menu item "Open" and add the "O" key for the shortcut
2. On the window add a menu handler for the Open menu item and add
for example the following code:
MsgBox "Open"
3. Add an editifield to a window
4. Run an use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+O" while the focus is on
the EditField.
The letter "o" is added to the editfield.
It seems this only happens when a modal window is involved with a
shortcut menu item. When using a shortcut menu that do not display a
modal window everything works fine.
The only workaround I found was to use the following on the EditField
KeyDown event:
If Keyboard.ControlKey And Key = "o" Or Key = "O" Then
Return true
End If
But doing this for each shortcut and for each editfiled/combobox is
really [place any nasty word here] - imagine a project with more than
20 shortcuts and many editfields/comboboxes :(
Is there a better workaround?
The ridiculous is I found that 2005r4 has the same bug and I never
noticed it. Maybe because I never tested my menu shortcuts while the
focus was in an editfield or combobox - it never crossed my mind that
this kind of bug could happen.
I found that this bug was reported (vvzfopyj) for Linux on 2005-10-12
but couldn't find one for Windows. If I can't find one I'll create a
new report.
Carlos
