The Review Access Keys feature allows you to review the access keys of the controls (labels, checkboxes, etc.) of Forms, UserControls, Property Pages, etc. An access key is an underlined character in a caption (such as in "Show Using Windows Colors") that, when typing Alt + character, sets the focus to that control (in the case of checkboxes or option buttons), to the next editable control (in the case of labels, assuming that the TabIndex property is right) or executes the action (in the case of buttons). This feature checks that controls that should have an access key have it, and that an access key is not duplicated. MZ-Tools offers the following ways to review access keys :
The controls reviewed are the following:
If two controls belong to different Frame controls of an array, MZ-Tools does not detect duplicated access keys among them because it is assumed that frames of an array will not be shown simultaneously (typically they are shown as tabs in a TabStrip control). The results are shown in a Results Window. The review of the access keys can be launched automatically (or you can be asked) when you make the executable of a project, that is, clicking the File | Make Project... menu (this is customizable in the Options window, General tab). If a wrong access key is detected, the Results window keeps open (otherwise it is closed). You should fix the access keys errors before making the executable. Remarks:
