    Shortcut keys to textbox

    Hi,

    I'm trying to set shortcut keys for textboxes. But what is the best way to
    do this in VB.NET. In Access it was very simple, just put an "&" sign in
    the label that belongs to the textbox. But in VB.NET it looks like you have
    to program code for the shortcut keys.

    Like putting this code in the Form_KeyUp:

    If e.Alt And e.KeyCode = Keys.L Then Me.ActiveContro l = Me.TextBox1



    Is this correct?

      Set the tab index of the text box to be next to that of its associated label
      control in sequence (eg: Label TabIndex is 6 and its TextBox TabIndex is 7).
      And have & in the Label control for the short-cut key and that should work.

      HTH.

          Maurice,

          I do not see what you exactly want to archieve. Maybe others see it but not
          me. Refering to MS Access in the dotNet newsgroups is not the best way of
          explaining when you want to have the best answers, a lot have expirience
          with that, but the most who are very deep in dotNet probably a long time not
          anymore.

          However because you are using VBNet you have probably a better change by
          posting your question (as well) to the newsgroup
          microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

          (You can send your further explanations here or/and to the VBNet newsgroup
          just as you wish, you are free to do what you want)

          Cor

              Shiva,

              Now I understand what was the problem and the solution I would not have
              thought about that.

              Nice
