Remarks

You can assign a shortcut to an item using its BarItem.ItemShortcut property (this property is of the BarShortcut type).

Up to two successive combinations can be specified. For instance, you can specify the “CTRL+J, CTRL+K” shortcut for an item. Note that in this case, you cannot use the first combination (“CTRL+J”) alone for another item.

The BarItem.ItemShortcut property provides a shortcut selector at design time

At runtime, you can specify a shortcut as follows:

C#

barButtonItem1.ItemShortcut = new DevExpress.XtraBars.BarShortcut((System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control | System.Windows.Forms.Keys.M));
barButtonItem2.ItemShortcut = new DevExpress.XtraBars.BarShortcut((System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control | System.Windows.Forms.Keys.J), (System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control | System.Windows.Forms.Keys.K));

VB.NET

BarButtonItem1.ItemShortcut = New DevExpress.XtraBars.BarShortcut((System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control Or System.Windows.Forms.Keys.M))
BarButtonItem2.ItemShortcut = New DevExpress.XtraBars.BarShortcut((System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control Or System.Windows.Forms.Keys.J), (System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Control Or System.Windows.Forms.Keys.K))

Note

Do not assign system shortcuts to bar items. For instance, the Ctrl+A shortcut is used to select text in a text box. The Ctrl+C shortcut is used to copy a selected text. The Esc shortcut is used to close dropdown windows. Do not assign these shortcuts and such to bar items. Otherwise, conflicts and unpredictable results may occur.
