JD Edwards Defining a Hot Key in Your Application

To define a hot key, insert an ampersand before the letter that you want to set as the hot key in the Title property for the button that will have the hot key. You can set the definition from either the properties dialog or from the properties panel. The letter you define is then underlined in your application. Hot keys are governed by these rules:

• You can define only one hot key for a button.

• You cannot use the same hot key on more than one button in the same form or subform.

• You cannot use a reserved hot key (any that is not in the list of application-defined hot keys).

• You cannot insert more than one ampersand in the same button title.

• You must check the Hot Key property for an exit definition only. Hot keys are enabled by default for push buttons.
