p.s.
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.
