Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys
Okay thanks Rob that did the trick. I had to make sure the static text controls had Tabskip set to 'no' though to get it working.

No I have not tried that so I'll give it a try.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys
To be clear, it's not a question whether WiX supports it. It's a question whether the Windows Installer supports it. Did you try setting the hotkey in a static control with tab order before the edit box. That's the way you typically handle it in Win32 dialog boxes. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: TimM [mailto:timmay...@smarttech.com] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 8:32 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys It was a request from one of our managers as they noticed that they can use Alt-Hotkey on the Change Directory dialog box, even though this is a built-in MS dialog box. But that dialog box can do it so they wanted in in the main installer as I have a Custom Dialog box that has 5 edit controls and they would like to Alt-hotkey to set focus to each one. If there is nothing built into WiX that can support this then I can convince them to just use the Tab instead of the Alt-hotkey method.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys
Why would you want to and what would you expect it to do? For buttons and check boxes they perform the command associated with the control, for an edit control it just doesn't make sense to do so. -Original Message- From: TimM [mailto:timmay...@smarttech.com] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 10:08 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog box edit controls and setting Alt hotkeys This could be a simple question, but at the moment I just can not see it... For push buttons and check boxes we just add the & in front of the character that we want set for controls Alt hotkey, but if you have Edit and MaskedEdit controls how do you set it's controls Alt hotkey?
