Hi Zlatin,
Are you saying that when I put a HotKey on a control, that there is some sort of internal menu generated? The site you pointed to talks about Windows Keyboard Shortcuts, but I couldn't find where the control HotKeys are discussed.


>{Alt+} shortcuts are used for menus. Pressing and holding alt activates the menubar area. This is standard Microsoft Windows behaviour. See

>>Define myChkBox as ChkBox
>>  Caption = 'Re\<fused'      && User can press {alt+f} to toggle value
>>  Procedure When()
>>    local lo
>>    lo = Thisform.ActiveControl
>>    This.Value = !This.Value
>>    lo.SetFocus()
>>    Return .F.
>>  EndProd
>>EndDefine
>>

>>This works just fine when the user clicks on the chkBox with the mouse, but if the user uses {alt+f} to do it, error "ACTIVECONTROL IS NOT AN OBJECT" and debugger shows "" for ActiveControl.
