Hotkeys - Shortcuts

Question

Hello! I am trying to set like hotkeys. I mean, I have an .NET app and I must to migrate to SL4. The older one had shortcuts, for example, it has a button that conteins the word "Exit" and it shows the 'C' and if I press ctrl+C, it shows me the module; and I have to do the same in SL4.

 

First, I cant do that the 'C' be underlined. Second, that shortcut doesnt work.

 

Thanks in advance.

please refer to the link below:

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication154.MainPage"

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <TextBlock Text="C" TextDecorations="Underline" Margin="109,83,235,199" />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

namespace SilverlightApplication154
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(MainPage_KeyUp);
        }

        void MainPage_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.C)
            {
                if (Keyboard.Modifiers.HasFlag(ModifierKeys.Control))
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Ctrl+C");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope helpful.

I used Content="^Cancel"  to underline 'C' and AutomationProperties.AccessKey="A" to create the hotkey/shorytcut.

It is working correctly.

 

<Button IsEnabled="true" IsTabStop="true" Content="^Cancel" AutomationProperties.AccessKey="A" Click="CmdCancel_Click"/>
