Hi Stuart, In Swing, Accelerator can only be set on JMenuItem and not on JMenu or JButton etc.
So the IAction.ACCELERATOR_KEY property of Action will be used by only those components which allow setAccelerator. ULC's behavior is that provided by Swing. The ToolTip text (i.e. whether to show acceleartor key on tooltip in addition to the message) is determined by the LookAndFeel class such as MetalToolTipUI etc. Thanks and regards, Janak >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stuart Booth >Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 8:04 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [ULC-developer] Bug using Actions ? > > >When using actions, I find that the accelerator key is shown >differently in >a menu than it is in a toolbar.
