Good question: I don't know how to check for "shortcut keys in use".
But it's a good idea to make your shortcut keys configurable anyway. Amazing how many programs out there take over a key (globally!) for one reason or another. If any given user can switch to another key that usually saves the day. No need to build an exotic user interface to configure, just use command line or INI file for the problem children. > > well, if you're getting confusing results, try it in a brand new > project with only 1 form and see if you have the same problem. > > I had similar problems with F11 key once and then realized that windows > was using it for something already and had to change it to F12. > > Dave. > > Andries Bos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello > > I would like to use the F6 shortcut within my MDI application.
