Description

Creates a menu shortcut from a text string.

Call TextToShortCut to create a menu shortcut from a descriptive string. For example, an application can allow users to specify the value of a shortcut in an edit box control, and then call TextToShortCut to create a menu shortcut for the value entered by the user.

Note: TextToShortCut executes slowly. When possible, use the ShortCut function to create a menu shortcut instead.
