Many times, you want a menu item and a keyboard combination to issue the same program command. You do this by using the menu editor to assign the same resource identifier to the menu item and to an entry in your application’s accelerator table. You then edit the menu item’s caption to show the name of the accelerator key.
To associate a menu item with an accelerator key
For example, to assign CTRL+O to the Open command on the File menu, you modify the menu item’s caption so that it looks like this:
Open\tCtrl+O
The menu item in the Menu editor is updated to reflect the new caption as you type it.
