Accelerator Type Property
The latest version of this topic can be found at Accelerator Type Property.
The accelerator Type property determines whether the shortcut key combination associated with the accelerator ID is a virtual key combination or an ASCII/ANSI key value:
If the Type property is ASCII, the Modifier may only be None or Alt, or it can have an accelerator which uses the CTRL key (specified by preceding the key with a ^).
If the Type property is VIRTKEY, any combination of Modifier and Key values is valid.
Note
If you want to enter a value into the accelerator table and have the value be treated as ASCII/ANSI, simply click the Type for the entry in the table and select ASCII from the drop down list. However, if you use the Next Key Typed command (Edit menu) to specify the Key, you must change the Type property from VIRTKEY to ASCII before entering the Key code.
