Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit

Declaration

C#

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

VB.NET

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

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.

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);
}

VB.NET

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

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