IMHO it is much faster to do the query yourself first and if there's no
result - post to the NG. Using this way answers can be ontained much more
faster.

Thank you for your informations.
I think I was not very clear. I have an accounting application and I want to
let the user create shoetcuts to the items in menu but that shortcuts to
appear on the main form as icons and not on other location. So for example I
have in the menu "Creating Clients" and i want the user of my software to be
able to create a shortcut in the main form to this "Creating Clients" and the
shortcut to appear on the main form ( similar to the desktop).
Thank you

"Shortcut" in this sense can be an owner draw button that simply calls
appropriate form, right? Also you can try to add hotkeys support.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
