Greetings,

How or does the menuitem macro support displaying accelerator keys in the caption? I've tried the inline \t (like in a standard rc file), but this obviously doesn't work.

Everything else I need at the moment is working, including the actual accelerators. I just need this to finish off my mini-app.

Thanks in advance,
Bodger.

AFAIK menu captions cannot contain tabs

It can. In FASMW source it is done the classic way:

Code:

  _ equ ,09h,

  menu main_menu
       menuitem '&File',0,MFR_POPUP
                menuitem '&New' _ 'Ctrl+N',IDM_NEW
                menuitem '&Open...' _ 'Ctrl+O',IDM_OPEN
                menuitem '&Save' _ 'Ctrl+S',IDM_SAVE
                menuitem 'Save &as...',IDM_SAVEAS
                menuseparator
                menuitem 'E&xit' _ 'Alt+X',IDM_EXIT,MFR_END

But you can do it also like this:

Code:

                menuitem <'&New',9,'Ctrl+N'>,IDM_NEW

Many, many thanks.

Yes, that construction makes sense. I'm surprised it didn't occur to me.

FASM is looking better and better all the time!

Right, I'm back to coding then,
Bodger.
