Disable MenuItem Shortcut

Hi,

the application I am writing has a MainMenu and a DataGrid
(UltraGrid).

Now I have to edit the text of each cell in this grid. So far so good.
All works fine in editmode but if I press a key which is also a
shortcut it doesn´t work and the menuitem-clickevent will be
performed.

KeyPreview of each parent form and each mdiparent is disabled.

For example: There is a shortcut in the menu which will be called by
pressing the delete key. If I am in editmode of a cell and I press
this key the shortcut should not be called but the text in this cell
should be edited.

So I tried to remove the shortcut like following code of my own
datagrid (inherits UltragGrid respectively DataGrid):

**** CODE ****
/// <summary>
/// Disable all shortcuts in all superior forms
/// </summary>
/// <param name="oShortcut ">The shortcut which has to be
disabled</param>
public void DisableFrmShorc ut(Shortcut oShortcut)
{
//Find parent form
Control oControl = this.Parent;
while(!(oContro l is frmEnhanced))
{
oControl = oControl.Parent ;
}
while(oControl != null)
{
for(int i = 0; i <((frmEnhanced) oControl).Menu. MenuItems.Count ; i++)
{
//Find an remove all shortcut which is equal oShortcut
this.RemoveMenu Shortcuts(((frm Enhanced)oContr ol).Menu.MenuIt ems[i],oShortcut);
}
//Is there another superior form (maybe mdiparent)
oControl = oControl.Parent ;
while(!(oContro l is frmEnhanced) && oControl != null)
{
oControl = oControl.Parent ;
}
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Search every subordinate menuitem and disable the shortcut
/// </summary>
/// <param name="oItem"></param>
/// <param name="oShortcut ">The shortcut which has to be
disabled</param>
private void RemoveMenuShort cuts(MenuItem oItem,Shortcut oShortcut)
{
for(int i = 0; i < oItem.MenuItems .Count;i++)
{
//recursive call of this method to find all menuitems
this.RemoveMenu Shortcuts(oItem .MenuItems[i],oShortcut);
}
if(oItem.Shortc ut == oShortcut)
{
//Remove Shortcut ans disable menuitem
oItem.Shortcut = Shortcut.None;
oItem.Enabled = false;
//Remember all disabled shortcuts
this._aDisabled Shortcuts.Add(o Shortcut);
}
}
**** CODE END ****

When I am entering the editmode of each cell I call the first methode
above to disable the shortcuts. This works fine and the menuitem(s)
are disabled and the shortcuts arent displayed in the menu but the
menuitem-clickevent will be performed again and agian.

Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve this problem??? I would be
very glad if someone can help me!

Best regards

Marcel Stallmach

hope you understand my english and what I mean ;)

I am writing a C# app that has a Menu. Some of the menu items will have short cuts that do not exist in the Shortcut enum. I would like the custom shortcuts to appear on the menu but as far as I can tell there is no way to add a short cut that is not in the Shortcut enum. I have my on keyboard hook so I am not worried about the custom shortcut magically working. I just want it to appear nicely formated on the menu. Anyone have any...

I'm trying to enable a menuitem in the parent form from a mdichild. Rather than making the menuitems public, I'd go for a public method in the parent form to do the change, but when I call the method from the mdichild, I get this error: C:\MyProjects\Visual Studio Projects\Tournament\Forms\frmLogin.cs(69): The name 'test' does not exist in the class or namespace 'Tournament.frmLogin' frmLogin is the mdichild.

Here's my newbie question: I have several VB forms which are all inherit a standard template form that I made. In my template form, I added a menu bar with some generic cut, copy, and paste functionality.

Ideally, I suppose I'd like to constantly monitor the clipboard for data, (in a thread?) but I'm not even sure how I'd...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
