How to assign shortcut keys for context menu items in the EditControl?

2 mins read

In EditControl, Context Menu is displayed on mouse right click. The context menu items can be customized by using the MenuFill event handler and context menu items are specified with some default shortcut keys. However, the shortcut keys of the context menu items can be customized by using the function, SetContextMenuItemShortcut in the IContextMenuProvider interface.

The following code example demonstrates the same.

//Customizes the context menu items
this.editControl1.MenuFill += editControl1_MenuFill;
void editControl1_MenuFill(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.IContextMenuProvider contextMenuProvider = this.editControl1.ContextMenuManager.ContextMenuProvider;
    //Specifies the shortcut key for context menu item.
    contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("Cu&t", Shortcut.CtrlX);
    contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("Cop&y", Shortcut.CtrlC);
    contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("&Paste", Shortcut.CtrlV);
}

'Customizes the context menu items
AddHandler Me.editControl1.MenuFill, AddressOf editControl1_MenuFill
Private Sub editControl1_MenuFill(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
 Dim contextMenuProvider As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.IContextMenuProvider = Me.editControl1.ContextMenuManager.ContextMenuProvider
 'Specifies the shortcut key for context menu item.
 contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("Cu&t", Shortcut.CtrlX)
 contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("Cop&y", Shortcut.CtrlC)
 contextMenuProvider.SetContextMenuItemShortcut("&Paste", Shortcut.CtrlV)
End Sub
