Hi Pablo,

>>I've read this discussion up to this message. We also have graphic toolbar. I advised my colleagues several times to use Menu on the Fly, e.g., when your form appears, the menu navigate appears too and allows to use all necessary hot keys. IMO, it's very good idea, but for my deepest regret, we still have so many others things to do, that this idea is still not implemented. Anyway, tell me, if this idea will work for you...

I'm very glad, that it works, however, my idea is different. Instead of using this code in KeyPress event of your 'manager' form, I proposed the idea of creating menu on the fly. For example, when you're in VFP environment and open a program to modify, the menu Format appears. If you open a table, menu Table appears and so on. So, I assume, it's standard Windows behavior and a good UI practice. Therefore I believe, we can do the same for our custom class ToolBar. E.g. the first instance of ToolBar will instanciate a menu 'Navigate'. I don't know all details in implementation, but I saw several samples, which came with VFP.

This is my idea, and I think it's pretty obvious and standard. I would like to receive confirmation of somebody, what this idea is useful and not hard to implement.

Of course, if your application doesn't use menu at all, you still can keep your idea...

Thanks.
