auto generating mnemonics

i have a problem auto-assigning mnemonics when dynamicly generating menues.

in some cases, two memorie entries get the same mnemonic key assigned
because the words begin with the same letter. this means, that they are more
or less useless

does anyone have an algorithm or some kind of code i can use to make sure
the mnemonic keys are unique when auto-assigning them

thank's!

Lukas,

You could keep a list of the keys used, and then check the second letter
when you see that a key is used already. If it isn't used, then use that
letter, and so on, and so on.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,
I thought of that too, but what if I insert some Menues manually between the
generating. I guess it will mess up my whole list.
Doesn't anyone of you have a working script that i could implement?

thank's!

Hi, I'm currently checking out what's available to add an auto-update feature à la Yahoo/MSN to our Windows applications written in VB. Those that I checked so far require generating a list of files along with a copy (full, or just a patched version) of each file, upload the stuff to a www server, and have the client app download the list of files to check whether it needs such and such patch.

Hi, I'm wondering how I can generate a postback using javascript on a page that does not have any controls with the auto-postback property set to true. I know I can just use the submit() function but this triggers page validation which I do not want. What I'm trying to do is dynamically write in a hyperlink that when clicked will remove an item from the form, so I don't want any validation to occur because the form isn't being submitted at...

Hi, I need help in getting this database to work well (user-friendly) by generating auto client ID. The ID is NOT the auto number that Access automatically create when there is no primary key. For example: 1/1/2006 ; 2/1/2006; 3/1/2006 The first number represent the client number and, the second number represent the month of January and, the last number represent the year

Hi there, I have a WPF combobox with two values "Male" and "Female". It seems by default the control supports mnemonics, e.g. if I press "M" on keyboard, it sets the current ComboBoxItem to "Male" If I use non-textual items, e.g. images+labels inside ComboBox, is there a way hardcode such keyboard shortcut for each item? E.g.

I have a VirtualMode DataGridView that bogs down on using the mouse wheel to scroll and gets a backlog of messages such that it continues to scroll long after ceasing to turn the mouse wheel. This is because instead of generating one scrollbar message for each mouse wheel message it generates a separate scrollbar message for each line move, forcing the entire screen to refresh with each line added. I've put in code to scroll multiple lines...

Hi, last week our project upgraded from vs.net 2005 to vs.net 2008. Our project still uses framework 2.0, because the deployment servers are not 3.x ready yet.
