Examples

The following examples show how to use the InputGestureText property to assign keyboard shortcuts text to menu items.

<MenuItem Header="_Cut" InputGestureText="Ctrl+X"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Find" InputGestureText="Ctrl+F"/>

mia = new MenuItem();
mia.Header = "_Cut";
mia.InputGestureText = "Ctrl+X";
mi.Items.Add(mia);

Remarks
