Thus if I press F12, my KeyPress method looks for a form control named "cmdF12" and "clicks" it if found. If I press Shift-F12, it looks for a control named "cmdShiftF12". The caption on the control always starts with the function key name, e.g. "F12 Search", "Shift-F4 Print", etc. Therefore there is always a one-to-one relationship between mouse actions and hot-keys. And the user can see the hot-key to use at all times.

Surely the menu shortcut is simpler and requires much less processing?

>BTW, as I mentioned in another thread, I still have a few OKL's <g>.

I intend to retain a few - generally in places where their use is specific, shortlived and on modal forms where they can't or shouldn't interfere with other processing...
