Keyboard Shortcuts don't work while Addin is open
« on: July 25, 2019, 04:51:08 pm »
Hey ;),
i've created a Addin with c# and Windows Forms. Everything works fine. But I noticed that the EA Keyboard Shortcuts don't (eg Create TaggedValue Ctrl+Shift+T) while my Addin Window is open.
Do you have any Idea why? Is that Windows Forms issue or a EA issue?

Greetings from Germany

Hi Mirco,

I would consider this as a normal behaviour as you lose access anyway to any selection on the Project Browser, diagram or else. This is probably a safe way to avoid opening an EA window in addition to your addin.
The only exception I think is if you use the Add-In view.

Hey Guillaume,
thank's for your answer!

You're not complete right. I don't lose any access to the project browser. I'm able to work with EA normally while the Addin is running/open. I can select any elements in the  project browser, place new elements, open properties or another addin in parallel etc.
The only limitation i could find is that shortcuts are not working.
