- Ok. I'm using OWL 2.5 on a 16 bit platform
-
- Can you have an accelerator key that isn't attached to a menu? In fact, can you have
- accelerators for TDialogs that don't have a menu at all?
-
- The scenario is that I have an application that has a child dialog displayed, which
- has two edit fields to be filled. I want to provide an ALT F9 key stroke to pull back
- both field entries from a dll, i.e. providing a hotkey. I believe that hotkeys are
- only available on win32 (true/false?), and that the closest thing to them on 16bit
- are the menu accelerators. Hence the first two questions.
-
- I am approaching this from the right angle, or do any of you know a better way of
- doing this?
-
- Thanx in advance
- E-Mail appreciated
- Wayne
