# ACCELERATOR

Enables you to define accelerator keys. If the end user presses an accelerator key, the double-click event occurs for the dialog element, or if no double-click event is available, the click event occurs. The accelerator key does not work if the corresponding event is suppressed.

Note
User-defined accelerator keys overwrite identical operating system accelerator keys, with the exception of hot keys such as Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Esc, Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc.

Possible Values | The standard syntax is:
    [Ctrl+][Alt+][Shift+]<key>
where <key> can be any of the following values: "A" to "Z" "0" to "9" (but not in conjunction with shift key) "F1" to "F12" (but not F1 on its own) "Num 0" to "Num 9" (=numeric keypad number keys) "Num Dec" (=numeric keypad decimal point key) "Num +" (=numeric keypad add key) "Num -" (=numeric keypad subtract key) "Num *" (=numeric keypad multiply key) "Num /" (=numeric keypad divide key) "Space" "Backspace" "Tab" "Enter" (=return key) "Esc" (=escape key) "Ins" (=insert key) "Del" (=delete key) "Home" "End" "Page Up" or "Page Down" "Left Arrow", "Right Arrow", "Up Arrow" or "Down Arrow" Examples: "3", "F7", "Shift+Page Up", "Alt+Enter", "Ctrl+Alt+G". Note that the key modifiers ("Ctrl", "Alt" and "Shift") can be specified in any order. Accelerators are not case-sensitive. Please keep in mind that F1 cannot be an accelerator and therefore help topics cannot be invoked this way.
