Why doesn't the Menu Editor in VB6 give the option to assign F10 as a
shortcut key? How do I assign F10 as the shortcut key for one of the
menu items?

Thanks,

Arpan

F10 is the global shortcut (in 2K/XP atleast) for showing/hiding the
underscore (ALT) shortcuts on the menu

F10 is a standard shortcut for any menu. Try any Windows application with a
menu and press F10. You can't use it, and if there is a way, don't do it.
It's part of the Windows interface standard. Some people with disabilities
can't use the mouse, so they use the keyboard. Pressing Alt+F is 2 keys,
while F10 is just one key and therefore easier. Use Windows as it was
intended to be used.
