Shortcut keys vs. mouseclick

[Johnny E. Jensen]

Hello

I've developen an MDI application using C# in VS2005
In my menu toolstrip i have the toplevel menuitems text starting with the;
&File, &Admin to be able to use the ALT + KEYSTROKE.
When I use the Alt+A to pull down the dropdown menu. Then click ENTER on an
menu-item. This fires the menu.click event.
In the menu.click event i call the routine to display a form.

public static void DisplayUsers()
{
frmUser = new formUsers();
frmUser.MDIParent = Program.Workspace <- (the MDIForm)
frmUser.Show();
DataSet ds = BusinessLayer.Users.GetAll(); <- Just fetches all users
within a dataset
frmUser.SetDatasource(ds, ds.tables[0].TableName);
}

When i Click on the Menu Admin/Users with the mouse all works OK. but when i
uses the keyboard (Alt+A) + ENTER on the users menu item, something goes
wrong within the SetDatasource on the users form???

Is there something I have to programme to be able to use keyboard strokes in
stead of the Mouse.

Kind regards
Johnny E. Jensen
