Hello all,

I am having a small problem with a JMenuItem accelerator.

I have a JDialog, with a JMenuBar. JMenuBar contains one non-visible JMenu.
One of the JMenuItems has an "Alt-S" defined as the accelerator for it.

On the JDialog box I have a JdbTextField, and a JComoBox. Pushing Alt-S
causes the menu item action listener to be called......but, it also sends
the keystroke to whichever control is active.

How can I get it to not send the keystroke to the control!??!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,
David Sykes
