I am using an UltraToolbarManager and have tools (buttons) define with shortcusts such as CTRL-A, CTRL-N, etc. This works just fine when you drop the UltraToolbar manager on a form. I then created a user control and dropped my UltraToolbarManage on the user control. This user control is now what is dropped on my maintenance forms but I lost my shortcuts. Does anyone know how I can have the user control subscribe to the keystrokes from it's parent form so the shortcusts will work?
Hi Roger,
I quickly tested the UserControl and the UltraToolbar and cannot see the shortcut keys not working.
Attached a little sample, files go to a folder named ToolbarInUserControl.
So there must be another cause for what you are experiencing. I even added a TextBox to the Form to see if the reason might be another form having Input Focus or so.

I will take a look at your code but I just checked again. When I first open my form the shortcuts works but then they stop working shortly thereafter.
I narrowed down the issue to when I change TABS. On my form I have two tabs and once I change to the second TAB the shortcuts no longer work. I took your sample and added an UltraTabControl but the shortcuts in your sample work every time.
I will have to toy around with this to see what is going on in my form that could cause this.
thanks.
