Ribbon - 2010 - Shortcut Key
Question
I'm trying to learn the Ribbon in Access 2010
I have a lot of it under control, but I don't understand the KeyTip (Short Cut Key?) in the XML aren't working as >>>I<<< expect.
>>>I<<< expect Alt d would bring up the Print Dialog. (See below graphic)
Facts
If I have the below XML in my USysRibbons table (along with more xml) why do the key tips not work as I expect? If you look at the XML there are two Keytips / 1 a Q and 1 a d.
If you look at the top of the two graphics
1) When I hold down the Alt key I see F on my quick Print / Nothing on Print Dialog
2) If I then click F it takes me to the File tab on the Ribbon
3) If I click Y + 1 (which is not in my xml) it shows me the shortcut keys I expect (see bottom Graphic)
4) at this point I can click d and it works like expected (shows the Print Dialog screen)
<group id="ListCommands" label="Print">
<button idMso="FilePrintQuick" keytip="q" size="large"/>
<button idMso="PrintDialogAccess"
label="Print Dialog"
keytip="d" size="large"/>
</group>
<group id="ListCommands" label="Print">
<button idMso="FilePrintQuick" keytip="q" size="large"/>
<button idMso="PrintDialogAccess"
label="Print Dialog"
keytip="d" size="large"/>
</group>
One Other Related Question if you are so Inclined
I obviously misunderstand the below webpage
I thought that if you put label="Print &Dialog" in the xml
the "D" in Print Dialog would be underlined and Alt D would be a shortcut key.
I got this from http://www.accessribbon.de/en/?Access_-_Ribbons:Keytips_in_Ribbon_Controls
Thanks in advance for your Help.
