Shortcut Key (PRIM_STPG)
Shortcut Key
Ancestors - Object (PRIM_OBJT)
A Shortcut key allows for the simple monitoring of a key or key combination without the need to manage KeyPress events on many controls. When the key is pressed, the Pressed is fired. Forms with a FormStyle of NormalChild, OwnedChild or StayOnTopChild will route their key presses to their owner form.
In this example, F4 and F5 can be used regardless of which control has focus.
