Hotkeys

[docu-track99]

Hello folks,

I have a few points and questions to make regarding hotkeys.

1. It appears the CTRL+O hotkey for displaying the open dialog doesn't work until you've loaded at least one document already with the open dialog.

2. Is there a simple way of attaching a hotkey to a command item or do I need to implement this on my own (by catching keypress events, etc).

3. I see there is a way to display "hotkey text" on a command item? For example I can see Undo and Redo are marked with CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y. What method(s) should I be looking at to create this kind of text for command menu items.

Thanks!

Hello docu-track99,

I will check whether it's possible and will write you a short sample on Monday.

Cheers,

Hello docu-track99,

1. This one needs to be investigated more thoroughly.

2,3. The following sample will add the custom shortcut to the Split Pages command. Though there was a small bug and this code will only work from the next (317) build.

Code: Select all

		private void hotkeysTestToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			var cmdId = this.pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("cmd.document.splitPages", true);
			PDFXEdit.IUIX_Cmd cmd = uiInst.CmdManager.get_Cmd(cmdId);
			PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdAccel accel = new PDFXEdit.UIX_CmdAccel();
			//FVIRTKEY  0x01
			//FSHIFT    0x04
			//FCONTROL  0x08
			//FALT      0x10
			accel.nMod |= 0x01 | 0x04 | 0x08 | 0x10;
			accel.nKey |= (int)Keys.S;
			cmd.AddShortcut(accel);
		}

This is how it will look like:

Cheers,

OK thanks, I suppose I'll give this a shot when the next build makes it out.

And we will try to figure out the problem with shortcuts and no documents.
