Shortcut Keys - more than 26

[Sheldon]

Hello -

I have a form that I ran out of shortcut keys for due to the fact that there
are about 30 controls on the form.

What do you do in this type of situation?

Thank you very much, Armin.

What if you use up 1 through 9 also?

I'm sure others will disagree, but I feel that if you have more than
20 or so controls that you want to have a hotkey on a form, it's time
to simplify your design. One such easy way to do that is to split the
controls into different tabs on a tab control.

I suppose, you could implement your own multi-key hotkey scheme, similar
to how Office's ribbon bar works, but I wouldn't want to go that route.

I'm not one of the disagree-ers; it's time to redesign.
