_SetItemCmdKey( ) API Library Routine


void _SetItemCmdKey(MENUID menuid, ITEMID itemid, int key, char FAR text) MENUID menuid; / Menu identifier. / ITEMID itemid; / Menu item identifier. / int key; / Shortcut key. / char FAR text; /* Displayed text. */

void _SetItemCmdKey(MENUID menuid, ITEMID itemid, int key,
 char FAR *text)
MENUID menuid;            /* Menu identifier. */
ITEMID itemid;            /* Menu item identifier. */
int key;                     /* Shortcut key. */
char FAR *text;            /* Displayed text. */

If you don't want to display a keyboard shortcut, pass text as a pointer to a null string. If you want the system to generate the default displayed text, pass (char FAR *)0.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.

The following example sets up a menu with three items and assigns a keyboard shortcut to each item.
