Keyboard shortcut to a component that has no caption

Question:

How can I create a keyboard shortcut to a component that has no caption?

Answer:

One work around is to leverage the FocusControl property of 

TLabel.  The following example demonstrates using an invisible

label control to create a keyboard shortcut to a memo control. 

The shortcut will respond to the Alt+M key combination.  To 

use this example,  place a label, a memo, and several other 

controls that receive focus.  Run the application, move focus 

to a control other than "Memo1", and key in <alt>-M.  You should 

see focus move to Memo1.



Example:



procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

begin

  Label1.Visible := false;

  Label1.Caption := '&M';

  Label1.FocusControl := Memo1;

end;
