Can a button be activated via a keyboard shortcut instead via mouse ? For example: Alt-N (next). Thank you.

Hi,
If you are not talking about the buttons used in the Dialogs, Yes you can
use '&' before the character which you want to use with Alt combination
as under.
But you can't use keyboard for the buttons used in the toolbar. You have
to use mouse to select them.

Through Code :
@ 15,15 BUTTON "&Next" SIZE 35, 12 ;
ACTION MsgInfo( "Any action here!" ) DEFAULT
or
Through Resources :
REDEFINE BUTTON PROMPT "&Next" ID 120 OF oDlg
ACTION oPags:GoPrev()But you can't use keyboard for the buttons used in the toolbar. You have

Hi,
To my opinion you can only use keyboard shortcuts in button if you are using plain text in the button (e.g. "&Next").
If you are using bitmaps into your buttons, you can only use specials keys (function keys, insert, delete, etc.) to be connected to your button.
You can do this by using :
Good luck.

SET KEY VK_NEXT TO Your_Function".Good luck.
