TITLE   :BUG: Intrinsic Controls: Shortcut Keys Do Not Work as Expected
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER::1.0,3.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbToolkit kbVBp600 kbOSWinCEsearch kbGrpDSVB

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0 
 - Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Adding numeric shortcut keys to your controls appears to have no effect.

RESOLUTION
==========

Numeric shortcuts are remapped to the CTRL+ALT+NUMBER key combination instead of
ALT+NUMBER key combination.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a new Windows CE pro.

2. Place two Labels and two TextBoxes on Form1.

3. Change the TabIndex of the controls as follows:

    - Label1.TabIndex = 0
    - Text1.TabIndex = 1
    - Label2.TabIndex = 2
    - Text2.TabIndex = 3

4. Set the Caption property of Label1 to "&1."

5. Set the Caption property of Label2 to "&a."

6. Run the application.

If you run the application in emulation, you are able to switch between Text1 and
Text2 by pressing ALT+1 and ALT+A key combinations respectively.

If you run the application on a device, you are not able to switch to Text1 using
the ALT+1 keyboard shortcut. Instead, you need to use the CTRL+ALT+1 key
combination.
