Does anyone know how to program windows shortcut keys to copy, paste, cut in Acu graphical controls? Our users have to right click to display the pop menu to perform these tasks.

Thanks.

Thanks Davide. Works great in entry fields but does not work in the grid. Is this limitation of acu Grid?

You can set the standard "Ctrl C", "Ctrl V" ... with these statements:

set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "Exception=1001 ^X"
"KEYSTROKE" to "Exception=1002 ^C"
"KEYSTROKE" to "Exception=1003 ^V"
"KEYSTROKE" to "Exception=1004 ^Z"
set exception values 1001 to cut-selection
1002 to copy-selection
1003 to paste-selection
1004 to undo


You should write this code in the main program of your application.

unbelievable. For years i?ve been missing this "feature". Everyone of our old programmers told me: it?s not possible.

Many, many thanks for these lines !
:D

Someone can help me to ma thec control-key Fonction-key ?

I have not found informations in acucobol documentation. The chapter 4.3.2.3 Table of keys is usefull for mapping keyboard but nothing about ctrl-key fonction key .

I mean that I would like to map the CTRL-F4 Key so that I could associate It with an exception value.
Is it possible ?

Thank you
