Shortcuts Not Working

I can't get shortcuts to work in my addon. The problem started when I moved computers. I remember getting an error message about somthing being outdated in the project but I didn't write the error down and it hasn't come back.

Any idea what the problem could be?

HandleShortcuts is set to true by the way. I have tried deleting shortcuts, etc. and nothing has worked.

Hi Mark,

Try creating a new project and checking if shortcuts work in it.

That message is shown if the versions of Loader\adxloader*.dll files in your project don't match that of {Add-in Express}\Redistributables\adxloader*.dll.

I created a new project and no luck on shortcuts. Any ideas?

I am using Ctrl+I as the test shortcut. It opens up the favorites sidebar. I've also tried Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+1.

These worked on the old computer. I have tried repairing Add In Express and copying the new adxloaders into the project but that won't work either.

-HandleShortcuts is set to true
-OnAction is set for the keyboard shortcut - it doesn't fire

Hi Mark,

May I look at your AddinModule.cs (AddinModule.vb)? No code implementing business logics is required. Please send the file to the support e-mail address, see {Add-in Express}\readme.txt; make sure your e-mail contains a link to this topic.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for providing us with your add-in module.

I have reproduced the issue you described above with a newly created add-on project. It looks like the Ctrl+Delete key combination is a reserved keyboard hotkey in Internet Explorer. When and why do you wnat to use it?

Instead I would suggest using another key combination (such as Ctrl+E, for example).

None of the keys work - that was just the last one I tried. I can't get anything to work - Ctrl+1, Ctrl+I - nothing. Not one type of shortcut will work.

Hi Mark,

Did you set up the HandleShortcuts property of the add-on module to true?

Yes - as stated earlier - that is set to true.

Hi Mark,

It looks like you use reserved shortcuts in Internet Explorer.

I have just tested the Ctrl+C shortcut on my PC with Internet Explorer 8. Does it work for you? If not, please send a sample add-on project to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt for details). I will test it on my PC.
