Specifies the name of the shortcut which displays the group.
Type
Description
String
A HTML expression that indicates the caption of the shortcut.
The Group objects with the same Shortcut property belongs
to the same set, and displays the Shortcut caption in the control's shortcut
bar. The ShowShortcutBar property
specifies whether the control's shortcut bar is visible or hidden. By default,
the Shortcut property is empty, so all Group in the Groups collection belongs
to the same set. The shortcut bar displays the first icon in the HTML caption,
if found, or it displays a custom size picture if specified using the the ShortcutPicture
property. If the Shortcut has associated a custom size picture ( ShortcutPicture
property ), the first icon found in the HTML caption is not displayed in the
shortcut bar. The entire Shortcut caption is displayed when the shortcut is
expanded. Use the ExpandShortcutCount
property to expand the number of shortcuts in the control's shortcut bar. The ExpandShortcut
event notifies your application when the user resizes the control's shortcut
bar. The control fires the SelectShortcut
event when the user selects a shortcut, so groups that belongs to the shortcut
are displayed.
The Shortcut property supports the following HTML tags:
<b>bold </b> bolds a part of the
caption.
<u>underline </u> specifies that the portion
should appear as underlined.
<s>strikeout </s> specifies that the portion
should appear as strikeout.
<i>italic </i> specifies that the portion
should appear as italic.
<fgcolor=FF0000>fgcolor</fgcolor>
changes the foreground color for a portion.
<bgcolor=FF0000>bgcolor</bgcolor>
changes the background color for a portion.
<br> breaks a line.
<solidline> draws a solid line. If has no effect for a
single line caption.
<dotline> draws a dotted line. If has no effect for a
single line caption.
<upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
<r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side. It
has no effect if the caption contains a single line.
<img>number[:width]</img> inserts an icon inside the
cell's caption. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted.
The last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the number expression
indicates the identifier of the skin being used to paint the object. Use
the Add method to add new skins to the
control. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the
control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of
the color being applied to the part. The width is optional and indicates
the width of the icon being inserted. Using the width option you can
overwrite multiple icons getting a nice effect. By default, if the width
field is missing, the width is 18 pixels.
<img>key[:width]</img> inserts a custom size picture
being loaded using the HTMLPicture
property. The Key parameter indicates the key of the picture being
displayed. The Width parameter indicates a custom size, if you require to
stretch the picture, else the original size of the picture is used.
<font face;size>text </font> displays portions of
text with a different font and/or different size. For instance, the
<font Tahoma;12>bit</font>
draws the bit text using the Tahoma font, on size 12 pt. If the name of
the font is missing, and instead size is present, the current font is used
with a different size. For instance, <font ;12>bit</font>
displays the bit text using the current font, but with a different size.
