I want this option to appear only when the focus is on a "QuickFill" text box. I put it up in the GotFocus() and I remove it in the LostFocus().

The reason I put it on the main menu is that I want to show the user that on this field he can press F2 to see a list.

No, I don't have anything else assigned to ALT-L.

I tried:
ON KEY LABEL F2
and
ON KEY LABEL F2 *

without any success.

>As for F2, hot keys like this don't work for items on the menu bar.

F1 work (for the help), why not F2?

I don't want to use the ON KEY LABEL command to define the F2 key, that's why I'm trying to put up a menu option with that hot-key to compensate. This mimics a feature found in the MaxFrame foundation.
