If the Command Text Or Caption is "Click ME" and you want assigen M as Hot Key then change the caption to "Click &ME"

I'm trying to do the same thing. But i want things to execute when someone say presses F1. I'm guessing that works different?

1. Make Form Keypreview = True
2. In Form Key Down Event

[CODE=vb]If KeyCode = vbKeyF1 then Command1_Click[/CODE]

I've tried it, but it doesn't work...
Could you post the whole code please :)

[debasisdas]

kindly post what you have tried.

I've tried this... But it didn't work

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
KeyPreview = True
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF1 Then Command1_Click
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF2 Then Command2_Click
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF3 Then Command3_Click
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF4 Then Command4_Click
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF5 Then Command5_Click
If KeyCodeConstants = vbKeyF6 Then Command6_Click
End Sub

I've tried KeyCode instead of KeyCodeConstant s at first, but I tried to change it to this...

KeyPreview is a property of the form. You need to set that.
can be set at design time.

[WinneRdk]

So

Private Sub Form_Load()
KeyPreview = True
End Sub

It works!! :)
Thanks :)

hotkeys

you also need to click on the form and change the key preview to true.



Private Sub Form_Load()
KeyPreview = True
If hotkey = vbKeyF1 Then Command1_Click
End Sub
