:( VB 2005 prblem :(

I'm trying to set a shortcut (Ctrl+D) to a menu item using the syntax:

   MenuItem.ShortcutKeys = Keys.ControlKey + Keys.D

I get an error message claiming: "The value of argument 'value' (85) is invalid for Enum type 'Keys'."

The VB 2005 help for ShortcutKeys does not show what values to use and their example of how to set Ctrl+O is a blank space!!

Trawling the NET has brought up a blank so here I am - asking for clues again. I know I am doing something wrong but I don't know what.

All the best,

The correct syntax to do is :

MenuItem.ShortcutKeys = CType(Keys.Control + Keys.D, Keys)

Thanks HaveHave2222,

It works a treat.

This VB 2005 is very daunting and IMHO far to complex to achieve relatively simple tasks.
Having said that - it does have some outrageously powerful features!

All the best,
