Default is this possible?


Hello All,
lets say that I made a form with bottons that open shortcuts on the
local computer. is it possible to make it so that the user can choose what
shortcut a certain botton on the form would open? and can he change that
later to a different shortcut? this is without using vb at all, everything
right from the form...?

One way would be to configure button text/icon and links via an xml
file. You could then provide a means by which the user edits the xml
file from your application.

You can probably do this using the My namespace in VB

Be aware that you should build the methods around your problem of course

Success
