Main Menu

[Guest]

I have a main menu on a vb form. I have on the menu Exit Crtl+X. How do I
code this so I can close it on ctrl+x.

Hi Newbi,

When you assign a shortcut to an menuitem (Shorcut property) the menu item's
Click is raised whenever you use that shortcut. You don't have to do
enything more then to implement your item's Click event handler

Hi Newbi,

Assign the required value to the Shorcut property of the required MenuItem.
You can do this @ design time.

Go thru this for an example

Add this to your menu item's 'Click' event handler:

\\\
Me.Close()
///

That is what I got for the click event. But how do I write the short cut key?
This is what I have been working with

Private Sub mainmenu_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Control.X Then
MsgBox("So, you want to exit???")
Close()
End If

End Sub

Assign 'CtrlX' to the menu item's 'Shortcut' property at design time. No
additional code is required to make the shortcut fire the menu item's
'Click' event at runtime.
