Integrated Hotkey or keyboard support

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi All,
Being new to DesktopX but an old Vb programmer, unless I'm missing something, there seems to be no keyboard support for the desktops. What seems like an important and fundamental feature is absent. ex; tabbing to objects, using arrow keys to navigate menus, etc. I'm building my desktop for use with a remote seting up hotkeys for the remote.

I'm going to try to build an Inkey, select case loop to trap the keys I want, to which will either set the foces or execute the object.

This is my suggestion and wish for desktopX. To have integrated hotkey settings in the object's properties.

PS: some of you guys are doing some great work out there !

Thanx & Good Day - Joe S

You will have to code all the key navigation your self. What I have done before is have one parent object catch the key events for the other objects using the *_ex subs and funcs. Then I'll use a switch structure to handle the event according to which object sent it.
