problem with menu shortcuts....

I have a weird problem, i have made a menu and in the File menu, the shortcuts dont work, how could i get the short cuts to work?

When you create a Menu Item using the VB Menu Editor, you can either select a pre-defined shorcut for each item or use the & sign.

A menu item Caption defined like this:

&My Menu Item

Would be activated by ALT "M" because you have the Ampersand before the M.

Now you could also define a shortcut from the drop-down list as well if you wanted.

Perhaps you can describe what you have done?

well i try to describe, i have made an File menu, and put shortcuts for Open, New, Save, and Print, and they dont work, all my program is, is a text editor, i dont have the ampersands before the letters

*bump*

You want the "Open" button to open a file, etc?

ermm... no, the short cuts to the buttons dont work

Oh... I was getting worried for a moment :)

In the menu editor it should be

&Open

You can move the & around to find the letter which u want to have as the shortcut.

what about the shortcuts from teh drop down menu, that is mainly what i wanted
