132 @class wxAcceleratorTable
133
134 An accelerator table allows the application to specify a table of keyboard
135 shortcuts for menu or button commands.
136
137 The object ::wxNullAcceleratorTable is defined to be a table with no data, and
138 is the initial accelerator table for a window.
139
140 Example:
141
142 @code
143 wxAcceleratorEntry entries[4];
144 entries[0].Set(wxACCEL_CTRL, (int) 'N', ID_NEW_WINDOW);
145 entries[1].Set(wxACCEL_CTRL, (int) 'X', wxID_EXIT);
146 entries[2].Set(wxACCEL_SHIFT, (int) 'A', ID_ABOUT);
147 entries[3].Set(wxACCEL_NORMAL, WXK_DELETE, wxID_CUT);
148
149 wxAcceleratorTable accel(4, entries);
150 frame->SetAcceleratorTable(accel);
151 @endcode
152
153 @remarks
154 An accelerator takes precedence over normal processing and can be a convenient
155 way to program some event handling. For example, you can use an accelerator table
156 to enable a dialog with a multi-line text control to accept CTRL-Enter as meaning
157 'OK'.
