Adding shortcuts

YO guys and girls.

Does anyone have any id how to ad shortcuts to a program?
I want to use more shortcuts than those in Menu Editor

Do you want to add shortcuts to the start menu?

Or do you want to launch an outside program from your program?

You can add other shortcuts to menus by first adding the shortcut text to the menu Caption property preceeded with a Tab. Then set the Forms KeyPreview property to Ture so you can intercept the keyboard activity. Then trap for the key in the Form_KeyPress event...

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.KeyPreview = True
    'Make the SpaceBar a shortcut
    mnuTest.Caption = "Test" & vbTab & "SpaceBar"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    'Trap for the spacebar
    If KeyAscii = vbKeySpace Then
        MsgBox "Space bar pressed"
    End If
End Sub
