Four idiotic questions... :/

[Eric]

I have three various questions that right now smoke my brain... :/

1) Let's say you have a special style with a shortcut. You put that in a
menu. How do you get the shortcut to show a bit to the right (as in Edit,
Copy where Ctrl+C shows to the right)? Do you just press space 20 times and
type the shortcut name or what?

2) Forms: You put a field or label on a form. How do you toggle the font
between bold and regular?

3) Forms: You put a button on a form with Caption OK. You want the letter O
underlined so if you press O it is chosen. How?

4) Forms: Same OK button plus a Cancel button. You want them to react from
Esc or Enter.

Thanks!!

Don't know.

Not sure I understand the question. You can set the control's Font property,
eg Arial vs Arial Bold.

3) Forms: You put a button on a form with Caption OK. You want the letter
O underlined so if you press O it is chosen. How?

Enter the shortcut character as the Accelerator property. The first instance
of that character (if any) is underlined.

4) Forms: Same OK button plus a Cancel button. You want them to react from
Esc or Enter.

Set the Cancel and Default properties respectively.

Thanks, I must be stupid here, but if the Caption is OK then set the
property Accelerator to O? No?

You would normally set its Default property to True so it fires on
Enter. Otherwise, yeah, you could set also set the O key to trigger
it.

Yes. Didn't it occur to you just to try it and see what happens?

You set the button's .ShortcutText property.
