Syntax Editor in MDI form, multiple occurences - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Erik Pepping - RADVenture B.V

When I open two MDI forms, both with a syntax editor, so I have two MDI children open, then the first one always traps all events related to keys like Ctrl-S to save, or Ctrl-G to perform a GOTO line. When I have Ctrl-S on another form, even then Syntax editor performs the Ctrl-S even though the editor does not have focus

Erik,

Do you have version 3.0? We redid our key processing model there so it's based on KeyDown instead of ProcessCmdKey.

Yes we do, but i just discovered that the menu toolstrip has allowmerge set to true. Let me come back to you on this.

Ok found it, the MDI shortcut items need to be removed if you go tot another form with the same menu.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 3 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
