MenuShortcut (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

java.awt

Class MenuShortcut

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.MenuShortcut

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class MenuShortcut

extends Object

implements Serializable

The MenuShortcutclass represents a keyboard accelerator for a MenuItem.

Menu shortcuts are created using virtual keycodes, not characters. For example, a menu shortcut for Ctrl-a (assuming that Control is the accelerator key) would be created with code like the following:

MenuShortcut ms = new MenuShortcut(KeyEvent.VK_A, false);

The accelerator key is platform-dependent and may be obtained via Toolkit.getMenuShortcutKeyMask().

Since:

JDK1.1
