BUG: Menu Shortcut Keys Do Not Always Work (180529)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0
This article was previously published under Q180529

SYMPTOMS

When a menu is created with the menu editor with an ampersand character (&) to indicate a shortcut key for the menu, the menu shortcut key does not work in the emulator. Additionally, the menu shortcut keys will not work on the remote device unless the form contains a control that can receive focus (such as a CommandButton).

An example of a shortcut key would be "ALT-F" to access a menu with the caption of "&File."

NOTE: This problem only exists in the emulation environment.
