135 An accelerator table allows the application to specify a table of keyboard
136 shortcuts for menu or button commands.
137
138 The object ::wxNullAcceleratorTable is defined to be a table with no data, and
139 is the initial accelerator table for a window.
140
141 Example:
142
143 @code
144 wxAcceleratorEntry entries[4];
145 entries[0].Set(wxACCEL_CTRL, (int) 'N', ID_NEW_WINDOW);
146 entries[1].Set(wxACCEL_CTRL, (int) 'X', wxID_EXIT);
147 entries[2].Set(wxACCEL_SHIFT, (int) 'A', ID_ABOUT);
148 entries[3].Set(wxACCEL_NORMAL, WXK_DELETE, wxID_CUT);
149
150 wxAcceleratorTable accel(4, entries);
151 frame->SetAcceleratorTable(accel);
152 @endcode
153
154 @remarks
155 An accelerator takes precedence over normal processing and can be a convenient
156 way to program some event handling. For example, you can use an accelerator table
157 to enable a dialog with a multi-line text control to accept CTRL-Enter as meaning
158 'OK'.
