Description
Creates a menu shortcut for a specified key combination.
Call ShortCut to create a menu shortcut at run time.
Specify a Key value using a virtual key code (Menus version) or Qt key code (QMenus version).
Specify the values for the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys by using a set of type System.Classes.TShiftState. For example, to specify the SHIFT key, use the set [ssShift]. To specify a SHIFT and CTRL key combination, use the set [ssShift, ssCtrl].
Assign the value returned by ShortCut as the value of the ShortCut property of a menu item.
Note: TextToShortCut can also create a shortcut. TextToShortCut converts a string to a shortcut, so it can be used to let the user specify the shortcut. However, TextToShortCut executes much more slowly than ShortCut. Use ShortCut whenever possible.
