shortcut to menu

Question

Hey,
How to create shortcut to menu in WinForms.
I think about something like in Visual Studio and Firefox, where I press Alt and mainly menu items shortcut letters have been underline.
How to do this??

Answer 1

Use the ampersand (&) in front of the letter you want to use as a shortcut, like &File, in the text of the menu.

Also, if you're using Visual Studio, you should see the property for Shortcut Keys in the properties window as part of the designer. This will give you more options (like Shift and/or Ctrl, etc.).
