Temporary disabling Tab shortcuts
posted

Hi,

I'm just wondering if its possible to temporary disable a shortcut for a Tab (set through its Text property) for UltraTabControl.UltraTabPageControl?

I've got a text editor with UltraTabControl on the right, with a bunch of tabs on it. Each tab has a shortcut. The problem occurs when I try typing letters, which are valid shortcuts for those tabs.

Eg. If tab1 shortcut is "A" and I'm trying to type "Apple" in the text editor, tab1 would get selected (if its not already). That forces the user to de-select the text editor to continue typing.. this repeats for all shortcuts.

What I would like to do is set a variable (eg. isUserTyping) and disable the shortcuts for tabs as long as its true. I cannot currently find a way for doing that..

Advice please?

Thank you :)

    Hello Gsr,

    Could you please provide us more details about your scenario. Are you using Menmoncs functionality of our UltraTabControl or KeyActionMappings. If you are using the first approach (with menmonics), as far as I know you should press Alt + shortcut key, to change the tab, so you will be able to type "Apple" in the UltraTextEditor.

    Could you please tell me what is your current version and do you have any installed service release and which one. Also please upload small sample with your scenario and I`ll be glad to research this issue for you . Let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards
