Oh... I think you have to bind these messages then.
1. WM_SYSCHAR for "ALT + character"
2. WM_KEYUP for other shortcut key, like "CTRL + char"

All you need to do is check the correct shortcut key, then give a flag something like:

lShortcutKey = .T.

Then on your procedure, simply check:

If lShortcutKey
   * activate by shortcut
   lShortcutKey = .F.
else
   * activate by mouse
endif
