right aligned shortcut key in menu item

[czerny]

Like this.

Yes! What have you done?

That is exactly what that app does.

Note the "&Copy\tC"

Code Select Expand


AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, MENU_EDIT_CUT, TEXT("Cu&t\tCtrl+X"));
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, MENU_EDIT_COPY, TEXT("&Copy\tC"));

I have not compiled your SmallEd2 example and we have different looks. Doesn't that mean that it is OS dependent?

I am working here with XP SP3.

Yes, I just tried it on an old XP - it is not working the same. Don't know what to suggest.

So the question arises: How can you left-align your shurtcuts?

Here (XP SP3) Pelles C ide shurtcuts are right-aligned and per example notepad is left-aligned. So there should be a difference. Do you have any differences?

Could anybody else try the SmallEd2 example and look at the edit menu?

sprintf(MenuItem, "%s%cCtrl-X", "Example", 8); // works!
Though

Code Select Expand

'\a' == 7 a value of 8 is working.
'\b' is working too!

[jj2007]

Ascii 7 doesn't work on XP SP3 (inserts a black dot),
8 means right-aligned,
9 means left-aligned.

Now the question is how it works on Win 7 + 8...

[JohnF]

On Win7 \t and \b work the same, right aligned.
