Creating hot keys in Form Design Aid?

[JitiOneWorld]

Is there a way in Form Design Aid to attach key combinations (hot keys) to exit bar buttons rather than having to click on them using the mouse?

Hi JitiOneWorld,

Yes, you can assign hot-key to the menu exits.
Simply place an "&" (et) sign before the letter which you want to be the hot key in the name of the exit.
The hot key letter will be appear underscored in the menus and in the pull down menu under the Link button but doesn't on the Exit Bar.

If the name of the exit doesn't contain the letter which you would like to assign then the general form is:

Show Details (&X)

where "Show Details" is name of the exit while X is the hot key.

Be carefull, do not use the same hot key twice or more on the same form, use unique keys. The different form type will bring some already occupied keys for standards like: File, Cancel, OK, Add, etc.

Note: You can assign hot key the same way to push buttons too.

Hope, could help.
