C# Tutorial Create Menu Items with Shortcuts control

• Open an existing .NET project or create a new one in your Microsoft Visual Studio.
• Drag a KetticMenu control from the toolbox and drop it on the form
• Create a menu item object ketticMenuItem1. This is achieved by entering New on the Type Here on KetticMenu
• Open the dropdown menu via clicking the ketticMenuItem1 to create a submenu item, and name it as ketticMenuItem2
• Locate Click events for ketticMenuItem1 and ketticMenuItem2 in the Properties Window, and then create event handlers for them
• Copy and paste the following C# code to the event handlers respectively

void ketticMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Display("New");
}

void ketticMenuItem2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Display("File");
}

• Add the shortcuts to the items as your requirements with the C# code below.

this.ketticMenuItem1.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Control, Keys.N));
this.ketticMenuItem2.Shortcuts.Add(new KetticShortcut(Keys.Shift, Keys.F, Keys.K));

• Run the application and the shortcuts will be shown for the KetticMenuItems automatically
• Additionally, we can add custom text to the shortcuts that we just added. This is achieved through setting the HintText property of the menu item with the C# code below.

ketticMenuItem2.HintText = "Custom Text";
