Defining MenuItem Shortcuts

Question

I need a simple way to set a shortcut for menu items.

But this don´t work with shortcut, just with click:

    <         


        

Answer 1

H.B. was right... I just wanted to add more precisions.

Remove the Click event on your MenuItem and associate it with a Command instead.

1 - Add/create your commands:

The commands are refering to the following code:

private void OpenCommandBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Open();//Implementation of open file
}
private void SaveAsCommandBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    SaveAs();//Implementation of saveAs
}

2 - Associate the commands with the wanted keys:

3 - Finally assign the commands with you menu item (InputGestureText is just a decorating text):

That way multiple inputs may be associated to the same command.
