solved [TC 11.50 and earlier] General handling of hotkeys in strings with && is still not working

[petermad]

Follow up on this: viewtopic.php?p=463760#p463760
And this:

08.11.24 Fixed: Alt+underlined letter hotkeys not working if the string contained && before &hotkey (32)

If I change these strings in 32bit TC:

Code: Select all

5381="C&ustom column configurations (sort with drag&&drop):"
6502="&File types (sort by using drag&&drop, edit with <spacebar>):"
6612="Searc&h && Replace"

to:

Code: Select all

5381="Custom column configurations (sort with drag&&dr&op):"
6502="File types (sort by using drag&&dr&op, edit with <spacebar>):"
6612="Search && Repl&ace"

where the hotkey is AFTER && - then these hotkeys doesn't work but give an error sound.


These strings does not work in 64bit TC either:

Code: Select all

5381="Custom column configurations (sort with drag&&dr&op):"
6502="File types (sort by using drag&&dr&op, edit with <spacebar>):"

I just don't get an error beep when using the hotkey in 64bit TC as I do in 32bit TC

This one (in MRT) does work in 64bit TC though:

Code: Select all

6612="Search && Repl&ace"

Setting hotkeys after && should work for all strings - otherwise the translators should be warned against doing so.

It looks like the "static control" uses its own hotkey handler because it's a control without a window handle.

15.11.24 Fixed: Hotkeys (Alt+underlined letter) on static controls (text) not working if the string contained "&&" before "&hotkey" (32/64)

It now works in both 32 and 64 bit TC 11.50b7 for:

Code: Select all

5381="Custom column configurations (sort with drag&&dr&op):"
6502="File types (sort by using drag&&dr&op, edit with <spacebar>):"

But this one (in the MRT) does still not work in 32bit TC

Code: Select all

6612="Search && Repl&ace"

Sorry, I missed 6612 in your reports. It's a different type of control (groupbox vs static text) and makes its own hotkey checking in 32-bit only.

21.11.24 Fixed: Hotkeys (Alt+underlined letter) on groupboxes not working if the string contained "&&" before "&hotkey" (32)

Confirmed that

Code: Select all

6612="Search && Repl&ace"

now also works in TC 11.50b8
