Create Shortcuts for Kettic Controls with Buttons in C#.NET

The KetticShortcuts for Windows Forms utilizes a few interfaces and C# classes to control the shortcuts mechanism, by which developers can easily build intuitive shortcuts for their applications. There is a Key board filter C# class used to receive all information from the key board to queue and delegate them to register the keyboard, a shortcuts manager used to stores the keyboard filter instance, the shortcuts provider instances, and recognize a valid shortcut combination, a item shortcuts used to raise the item click event to associate the shortcuts with shortcuts provider interface.

KetticShortcuts control for WinForms allows the interface designers to add shortcuts at KetticItem level. In other word, we should add the shortcut to the main element of a KetticControl and it is impossible to assign a shortcut to a KetticControl directly. The following C# code demonstrate how to create shortcuts to a KetticControl at the Item level.

this.ketticButton1.ButtonElement.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.A));
this.ketticKetticioButton1.ButtonElement.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.S));
this.ketticSplitButton1.DropDownButtonElement.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.C));
this.ketticToggleButton1.ButtonElement.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.K));
