How do I create shortcuts for my menus? I mean like "Ctrl+N". I tried AddKeyboardShortcut() but it didn't work.

AddKeyboardShortcut() works for me. Can you post an example?

Well, not really. All I can say is that when I insert this line "AddKeyboardShortcut(MainWin,#PB_Shortcut_C | #PB_Shortcut_Control,1)" PB completely crashes.

What are you taking as MainWin ?
Is it the Value you get with WindowID(), or the one you use with OpenWindow like OpwnWindow(MainWin, ...
It has to be the one from Openwindow, the PureBasic Window Number, not the ID (or handle) it gets from Windows.
Maybe this causes the crash.

Yup! That caused the crash! I used the wrong value for the '#window' variable. It works now.
But how can I integrate the visual shortcut like "Crtl+N" into the actual graphical representaion of the menu? I mean it's not done by simply but this next to the name of the specific menu item when you create it. It will look pretty disordered and will remain on wrong places when the width of the menu changes. Like when you have recent file list in your menu.
Is that possible at all?

Use Chr (9) [tab] to separate the 'Ctrl X' strings, like this:
Code: Select all
OpenWindow (0, 320, 200, 320, 200, #PB_Window_SystemMenu, "Test")
CreateMenu (0, WindowID ())
MenuTitle ("&File")
MenuItem (1, "Open file..." + Chr (9) + "Ctrl O")
MenuItem (2, "Save file..." + Chr (9) + "Ctrl S")
MenuItem (3, "Read a really good book before going to bed..." + Chr (9) + "Ctrl R")
MenuItem (4, "Exit..." + Chr (9) + "Ctrl E")
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent () = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

I think this kind of stuff should be in the manual. I spent several hours trying to solve this very problem recently. I only figured it out by examining the PureBasic editor source code.

Adding 'Chr(9)' works wounders for me. Thank's a bunch but as TheBeck pointed out this should really be added/updated in PB manual.
