Catch Alt+Key combinations

I have a Window with ButtonBar and XBrowse. No menu.
How can I perform some operations on Alt+<Key> shortcuts?
I need to do both Alt+<letter> and Alt+<F_key>
Thank you.

Use SetKey and inside de setkey function verify:
Code: Select all
SetKey( VK_F2, {||Shortcut()} )
Procedure Shortcut()
If GetKeyState(VK_SHIFT) // Shift
? "Shift+F2"
end
If GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) // CTRL
? "Ctrl+F2"
end
If GetKeyState(VK_MENU) // Alt
? "Alt+F2"
end
return

Code: Select all
...
If GetKeyState(VK_MENU) // Alt
? "Alt+F2"
end
..
Doesn't work. It works fine for Ctrl+F2 and Shift+F2, but not for Alt.
Also I have some Alt+<Letter> shortcuts that should work on given window.

It does not appear that you can trap the <alt> key .. oDlg:bKeyDown seems to ignore returning a value for <alt>
.. <ALT> key combinations are routed to Windows controls like <alt+f4> for a windows 'close'
I recommend changing your key routines to <shift>+key
