Code updated For 5.20+

I'm probably the last person on the planet to find this out, but just in case there is someone else who does not know.

The TAB character (Chr(9)) can be used in drop down menus to align a feature such as "Ctrl+S"

Example:

Code: Select all


If CreateMenu(0, WindowID(#Window))
  MenuTitle("File")
  MenuItem( 603,"Save current data")
  MenuItem( 604,"Load data")
  MenuBar()
  OpenSubMenu("Save display...")
  MenuItem(607,"To file"   +Chr(9)+"Ctrl+S")
  MenuItem(606,"To clip"   +Chr(9)+"Ctrl+C")
  MenuItem(605,"To printer"+Chr(9)+"Ctrl+P")
  CloseSubMenu()  
  MenuItem(608,"Beeps On/Off")

  etc
