How do you create menu items that also use key combos?

[LostUser]

I am making windows and using some menu items where some have the under score so you can use that letter to execute that item. I would also like the option of being able to use a key combination like ctrl-s for save rather than going to File\Save and other things.

What I need to know basically is how do you get the key combo to display with menu item and allow it to actually be used.

I was thinking of just putting the key combo text in the menu along with the menu item text and doing a hotkeyset for whatever key combos I need to do. Is there another guictrl... way or do you just put it in the text and make the hotkeyset?

If that doesn't quite make sense I can try to explain further.

Well, that makes sense. Menu item with the text for the shortcut and make the shortcut a hotkey.

Thanks for that link.

I could have sworn there was a way to automatically tie the keys into the menu file by using the "pipe" command (|) at the end of your menu title. Example:

$mFile = GuiCtrlCreateMenu( '&File' )
$mFOpen = GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem( '&Open | CTRL+O', $mFile )
$mFClose = GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem( '&Close | ALT+F4', $mFile )

I tried doing that and it doesn't seem to work. I tried separating the Pipe command in different ways, using Ctrl+S in quotes, out of quotes, with {} brackets. None works yet. The only thing I can get to do it so far is the HotKeySet command...which is fine I suppose.
