Author Topic: EA Addin Key Shortcut (Read 10144 times)

Tehila1 · « **on:** January 12, 2014, 06:42:56 pm »

I would like to enable the add-in to be invoked in the most convenient way.
How can I define a key shortcut in EA for this purpose?
Thanks.

Hello,

as far as I know there is no way to define a shortcut for an Addin.

What you can do is: Make an Addin which uses the AddinWindow. Then you are only one click away from your Addin action.

To do this is to make your Addin an ActiveX Control (OCX). Geerts Navigator is a good example.

Anyone still interested in such a feature?

Sure, we all are.

I'm not sure but I think i asked the same question about 5 years ago

Wow, nice article.
I'm definitely going to use that for my add-ins, thanks!

Excellent. Though I'm not developing in those depths of Windoze the description is elaborated thoroughly and in a way that you can follow. I wonder why Sparx is still not able to provide that in a plain API method
