KeyShortcut Class

A class used by various controls to provide shortcut keys.

Namespace: DevExpress.Utils

Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v24.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Utils, DevExpress.Wpf.Core

#Declaration

public class KeyShortcut

#Remarks

DevExpress controls provide properties that allow you to provide shortcuts to access functionality. For instance, a popup editor provides the RepositoryItemPopupBase.CloseUpKey property. Pressing this key toggles the visibility of the dropdown window.

To provide a shortcut, create a KeyShortcut object then assign it to the corresponding property. You can create a shortcut based on a Shortcut or Keys enumeration value. Values of the Keys type can be combined using the OR operator.

The shortcut itself can be accessed via the KeyShortcut.Key property.

#Example

The following example assigns the Ctrl+Enter shortcut to the RepositoryItemPopupBase.CloseUpKey property. This allows the end-user to press this key combination in order to open and close the dropdown window while accepting the selected value.

popupContainerEdit1.Properties.CloseUpKey = new KeyShortcut(Keys.Control | Keys.Enter);
