wxruby users - Dec 2007 - Menu Bar KeyBoard Shortcuts.

Hello,
 
I''m trying to use a wxMenuBar from XRC built with DialogBlocks on
Windows.

My first example had the menu being called from the Frame because I
couldn''t figure out
how to call the menu from my XRC. Shortcuts worked nicely.

Example 1:
menu.append(Wx::ID_EXIT, "E&xit\tAlt-X", "Quit this
program")

tool.append(Wx::ID_PHOTO, "&MS Picture Manager\tAlt-B", "MS
Picture Manager")

Now that I''ve figured this out, I lost the ability to have my Keyboard
shortcuts as a parameter.

Example 2 :
  @menubar         =
self.get_menu_bar.find_menu(''ID_MENUBAR1'') # This only accepts
1 argument
  @menu_quit       = 
self.get_menu_bar.find_menu_item("File","Quit")  # This only
accepts 2 arguments

or

 evt_menu(self.get_menu_bar.find_menu_item("Tools","MS Picture
Manager")) do
   open_ex
 end

Is there a way to use the Keyboard Shortcuts with XRIC?

Thank you,
Bill

You can create keyboard shortcuts in XRC by adding, for example, 
"\tCtrl+x"at the end of the label, in the same way as you''d
set a
keyboard shortcut if creating the menu directly in Ruby. I just tried 
this out in DialogBlocks on OS X and it seems to work correctly, and the 
sample project includes a frame with this in it.

Let me know if this isn''t working, or if I''ve not understood
your question.
