MenuItem.Shortcut has no Esc key?!

Why is that? How else can I assign the Esc shortcut to a menu item? Sammy "A good friend, is like a good book: the inside is better than the cover..."

RegisterHotKey, you might also want to includeUnregisterHotKey. However why would you want to assign Esc to a menu item, usually when a form is open and someone presses the Esc key it will close the current window. - Nick Parker

The old fashion way: set the
MenuItem.Textto "My Caption\tEsc". Notice that you should inserting a tab character between the caption and the shortcut. Don't use the PropertyGrid to do this, since it will escape the backslash (\) as well. You'll need to handle the escape key yourself, though, by settingForm.KeyPreviewtotrueand overriding theOnKeyDownmethod in your derivedFormclass to handleKeys.Escape.Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Actually, what I'm trying to do is pretty standard, although it's a workaround. See, when I use the AxWebBrowser control, pressing on Esc to stop the page from loading doesn't seem to work, so I was trying to make it work! So how can I simply make it work!?

Well, I am not sure what a menu item has to do with what you just said, per your original post. I still think you are going to want to use the
RegisterHotKeyand probably override the WndProc. Something like the following:protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
const int WM_HOTKEY = 0x0312;
switch(m.Msg)
{
case WM_HOTKEY:
ProcessHotKey();
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}private void ProcessHotKey()
{
// Handle AxWebBrowser here.
