Hi,
For Buttons You can Change the Caption:
&Save
So, cmdsave_Click will be fired, when you press "Alt + S" on the form..
For TextBoxes, you have to code..
REgards
Veena
If you want the textbox or any control to be on focus, with an appropriate shortcut key and keypress event
Hello
Firstly Set Forms Property Keypreview True
Then Set All Controls in the Form have regular TAbIndex
Then in Form keydown event -
Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
-
sendkeys vbtab
-
End Sub

Hi all,
Sorry to "butt in" on this, but I have the same issue, and the answers so far does not seem to do the trick, or maybe I am doing it wrong....
If I have a form with a button called Open Details which opens another form. If I wish to use a shortcut key (instead of clicking the button with the mouse), e.g. Alt+O, how do I do that ? Is there functionality, or code to be used ?
Thanks
Best regards
Ingrid

Depending on the version you can use Veena's solution, but lotus' one is more general, add in the form's keypress event the code to call the click event's sub of the button, for example, something like this in te form keydown button will do: - If KeyCode = Asc("O") And Shift = 2 Then CommandButton1_Click
add it to the controls that can be selected, so when they're selected and you press Ctrl+O the command1_click sub will be called. It'll be some copypaste work if you have many commands, but is the simplest way for few.
Note 2 is the value of Ctrl. check the help file or the object browser to see the shift or alt values, you can also use vb constants.
HTH
Both people who have the problem, please tell us what version of VB you're using.
If using VB 6.0 then it is quite easy to set focus for text boxes.
1.Use a label control for the labeling of the textbox .
2.UseMnemonic should be set to true for the label (default).
3.Use & to assign the Mnemonic.
4.Set the tab index of the textbox to one more than the corresponding label.
When you try set the focus on the label using the Mnemonic character and since label is a static control so could not receive the focus , focus will be set to next control in higher tab index order.
Thanks Debasis. Exactly what I would have said, if I'd had time. :)
Hi,
Just provide the &Open Details at the text property of the button.
while running the form if u fired Alt+O ,it automatically fires the function of button(open details)-- which opens another form.

If focused control is ReadOnly, menu shortcut key is ignored.
To reproduce, run code below, press Ctrl+E.
Note that message box does not appear.
This issue blocks Ctrl+E usage in application.
