But they seem aligned, like there was some special way to put them there.. don't they?

I found the solution!! When you are doing the GUICtrlCreateMenuItem(), inside the Data press Tab, then put the shortcut. Example:

$menufilenew = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("New   Ctrl+N", $menufile)
They will be automatically aligned.

Programming is involve some thinking for creativity :)

but there is an issue, whether you use @TAB or just your keyboard tab, if i do it twice i come up with this:

That's why you only do it once.

Hmm, I did figure out how to use the TAB to auto align, but how the heck do you get the menu to respond to the keystroke,

Hotkeys work in a fashion but, Shortcut CTRL-N for a New Window will make my new window even if my app is in the background.

Add a check to make sure app is in the forground, and woot, now CTRL-N is hogged by my app and all others apps menu's become DOA.

LeCarre,

Look at GUISetAccelerators in the Help file. They work in a similar manner to HotKeys but are only active when your GUI is focused. :mellow:
