Usage of MENUITEM Escape chars

Jochen Rosenthaler posted over 11 years ago

Is it possible to use something similar to the \t escape char (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381024(v=vs.85).aspx) with the UltraToolbarsManager? Since we created some special shortcuts for our application (like Win+A), we'd like to show them in the menu like the IG-ones. Any help would be great!

Hello Achim,

I've attached a sample project that does what you want. Keep in mind that it's not the most efficient solution to the issue.

For each tool that has a custom shortcut you should assign one of the provided shortcuts. In code create a Dictionary<String,String> to store the keys and custom shortcuts for the tools. The creation filter will replace the text of the provided shortcut with the text of the custom shortcut.

Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply. A sample would be great, since the drawing and painting of the ui elements looks quite complex. I know of the existence of draw and creation filters, but avoided to use them till now ;-)

Maybe this could be a feature request for future IG releases - either support of the tab-syntax or a new property?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Infragistics.

While using the tab character in the caption of a menuitem is not supported, it might be possible to do what you want with a CreationFilter.

I will work on creating a sample for you, but I provided you with the link in case you want to try to create one yourself.
