UseSystemKeyNameText Property

Description

Gets/sets whether system localized shortcut text will be used for shortcuts.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property UseSystemKeyNameText() As Boolean

Remarks

UseSystemKeyNameText is used for localization of shortcut key descriptions. When set to True, the text description that is displayed will be localized.

Setting this to True allows the system to localize shortcuts instead of using the predefined shortcuts table.

Custom text descriptions can be entered for most keys using the SetKeyNameText method. This allows you to localize the text for the shortcuts.

Example
