Hot-key assignment to Form Buttons

[BoxPro1]

How does one add a Hot Key to a VFP 6.0 form button that had a Picture in place of a Text Label?

I would probably put the code in the keypress of the form, make sure the form's keypreview property is set to true.

You can also use 'on key labels' within a form, if you don't want the user to press buttons and would rather they press keys.

I would probably play it dirty and create the buttons with the hot keys off the screen ie at a negative left position on the screen; assign tab stop to .f. and for the click even, just run the click even of the button with the picture; setfocus to the picture button as well. Clearing you would need to disable these buttons if the picture buttons get disabled; but you would also have to test your on keys/keypress events if you go the on key label/keypress route anyway so it's a catch 22.

hope this helps
