Hello.

I want to use the same menu shortcut keys in a MDI child as in the parent...the problem is that the parent seems to receive the Event first and is calling his menu entry. The child (though it does have the focus) does never receive any event whatsoever...

I can bypass this behaviour by adding a Textbox to the Menu, and the moment that one has the focus the menu shortcuts are working as expected (child gets it first, after that it's passed through to the parent).

However, did anybody discover or can think of another solution for this?

Best Regards,
Booby

P.s.: Jeez, I should work on my english. :eek:
 
This post by JohnH could help, depending on how many items you have in your Parent menu :)
