Short cut creation with arbitrary keys

[Michael]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to use Short Cuts in my LV application, I found the Key Navigation with the Toggle function but there I can just use some Keys like F1... I would like to define actions for Short Cuts like Ctrl S Ctrl N ... .

If anyone as an idea, that would be great.

Mike.

Depending on what you are doing... one way would be to create a run time menu and assign shortcuts through there. See here for a start on creating a run time menu.

Or look for Key-down? events on the VI and look at the plat mods to see if the CTRL key is pressed.

If so discard the key-down and perform the action you need.

Hmmm...The menu suggestion makes me wonder. Does the menu have to be shown on the front panel to generate events using hot keys? My gut feel is yes but I really don't know.
