NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.RichEdit, DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit

Declaration

C#

public void AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(
    Keys key,
    Keys modifier,
    RichEditCommandId commandId,
    RichEditViewType viewType
)

VB.NET

Public Sub AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(
    key As Keys,
    modifier As Keys,
    commandId As RichEditCommandId,
    viewType As RichEditViewType
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	Keys	A Keys enumeration member specifying a key to assign.
modifier	Keys	A Keys enumeration member specifying a modifier key.
commandId	RichEditCommandId	A RichEditCommandId enumeration member specifying a command.
viewType	RichEditViewType	A RichEditView specifying the view in which a shortcut will be effective

Remarks

Note that the RichEditControl’s shortcuts should be assigned after the control is initialized (e.g. in Window.Loaded event handler).

The code sample below assigns the Alt+Y shortcut to the CreateFieldCommand, allowing you to insert a field:

C#

private void ThemedWindow_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Y, Keys.Alt, RichEditCommandId.CreateField, RichEditViewType.PrintLayout);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub ThemedWindow_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
   richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Y, Keys.Alt, RichEditCommandId.CreateField, RichEditViewType.PrintLayout)
End Sub

To remove a command shortcut, use the RichEditControl.RemoveShortcutKey method.
