Character Symbols

[runswithsizzors]

I have added a menu item for an engineering app and the are going to be short cuts for special characters like the degree symbol and what not.

How do I go about when they click on the menu item where ever the focus is add the degree symbol?

Thank you!

You would need to keep track of the control that has focus, you can do that by making a readonly property for the form and in there you return the active control

What about a MDI relationship, with multiple children?

The readonly property would be on the child form, each child would know it's own active control.

Great I will definitely go do that. Thanks for the help!
