Here's a tough one... I'd like my program to create accelerator keys upon
startup. I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anyway to make an
accelerator key table that isn't a resource. What's the deal? I can hardcode
menus, but not the assocciated accel keys?
Example:
Suppose I've got an array of items (say {"&Alaska", "A&rkansas", "Ari&zona")
that I hook up to a menu. I'd like the accel keys to be Ctl+A, Ctl+R and
Ctl+Z, respectively.
If my items are a string resource, it's easy to change the & placement
to set different mneumonics (such as {"A&laska", "&Arkansas", A&razona"}).
It seems really silly and tedious to also have to change the related accel,
too. So...
Is there some way I can make an ACCELERATORTABLE data stucture (based on my
array) rather than loading a resource?
Thanks!
