[Dev-C++] Accelerators don't work on my computer

[Philippe de R. <pr...@cl...>]

Hello,

I wonder if keyboard accelerators work in Dev-C++.

The following resource file is provided in the examples, yet the =
accelerator keys don't work.

500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "Mainicon.ico"
#include <windows.h>
#include "main.h"

501 MENU=20
BEGIN
 POPUP "&File"
 BEGIN
  MENUITEM "&New", IDM_FILENEW
  MENUITEM "&Open...", IDM_FILEOPEN
  MENUITEM "&Save", IDM_FILESAVE
  MENUITEM "Save &as...", IDM_FILESAVEAS
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "&Print...", IDM_FILEPRINT
  MENUITEM "Page se&tup...", IDM_FILEPAGESETUP
  MENUITEM "P&rinter setup...", IDM_FILEPRINTSETUP
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "E&xit", IDM_FILEEXIT
 END

 POPUP "&Edit"
 BEGIN
  MENUITEM "&Undo", IDM_EDITUNDO
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "&Cut\tShift+Del", IDM_EDITCUT
  MENUITEM "&Copy\tCtrl+Ins", IDM_EDITCOPY
  MENUITEM "&Paste\tShift+Ins", IDM_EDITPASTE
 END

 POPUP "&Help"
 BEGIN
  MENUITEM "&Contents\tF1", IDM_HELPCONTENTS
  MENUITEM "&Search", IDM_HELPSEARCH
  MENUITEM "&Using help", IDM_HELPHELP
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "&About...", IDM_HELPABOUT
 END
END

I am using the following resource file, and the accelerator keys don't =
work either, wether I use the "MyMenu ACCELERATORS" bit or not :

#include <windows.h>
#include "menu1.h"

MyMenu MENU
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Open\tF2", IDM_OPEN
        MENUITEM "&Close\tF3", IDM_CLOSE
        MENUITEM "E&xit\tCtrl+X", IDM_EXIT
    END
    POPUP "&Options"
    BEGIN
       MENUITEM "&Colors\tCtrl+C", IDM_COLORS
       POPUP "&Priority"
       BEGIN
          MENUITEM "&Low\tF4", IDM_LOW
          MENUITEM "&High\tF5", IDM_HIGH
       END
       MENUITEM "&Fonts\tCtrl+F", IDM_FONT
       MENUITEM "&Resolution\tCtrl+R", IDM_RESOLUTION
    END
    MENUITEM "&Help", IDM_HELP
END

// Define menu accelerators
/*
MyMenu ACCELERATORS
{
   VK_F2, IDM_OPEN, VIRTKEY
   VK_F3, IDM_CLOSE, VIRTKEY
   "^X", IDM_EXIT
   "^C", IDM_COLORS
   VK_F4, IDM_LOW, VIRTKEY
   VK_F5, IDM_HIGH, VIRTKEY
   "^F", IDM_FONT
   "^R", IDM_RESOLUTION
   VK_F1, IDM_HELP, VIRTKEY
}
*/

Any help would be much appreciated.
