Remarks

You can use this property to assign shortcuts for Actions in code. The Application Model considers the passed value as a default value for its IModelAction.Shortcut property. You can override this value in the ActionDesign | Actions | <Action> of the Model Editor.

Assign one of the following string values to the Shortcut property:

• A string representation of a System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut enumeration value (for example, CtrlShiftO).
• A string representation of a System.Windows.Forms.Keys enumeration value (for example, LShiftKey).
• Several string representations of System.Windows.Forms.Keys values separated by “+” (for example, Control+Shift+O).
