Give a Control Focus via Hotkey 1

[mikemcginty]

I want to give a control object focus by using a hotkey on its associated label object

For example I assign the lbl.caption as "&Set Control Focus"
When I press ALT S, I want Control.setfocus to action

What label event will fire when ALT S is pressed?

I tried the click event but it doesn't fire

Thanks

Mike

If the caption is on a label, then the GotFocus event of the control with the next TabIndex value (that has a the ability to get the focus) will fire

Try this

If SendKeys = "{ALT}+{S}" Then
'*****Your Code Goes Here*****
Else
'*****Extra Code for Else*****
End If

Dan, did you actually test that before posting? Did you read the question?

Thanks All

Just to clarify the solution from strongm

I assigned the label with the previous Tab Index to the object I want it associated. Because the label can't receive focus, the next index ( ie the object) will receive focus

I gave a star to strongm to show his (her?) solution was spot-on and appreciated

'His', definitely 'his'. Or my wife will have words to say.
