    Ctrl+L only works with those fields for which we have used 'Linked Lookup' property. I think to give image of Crtl+L functionality you need to do some coding, just opposite to dexterity where we just link lookup and it opens on Ctrl+L.

    BTW nice question. :)

    Will try to do it when have some time.

    Sandip,

    Sorry to getting back to you late, Eid Holidays. :)

    Ctrl+L is already used by browser so you may try using only L.

    below is a code.

    <textarea name="MyText" id="MyText" onKeyPress="handleKey(this);" ></textarea>

     

    <script>

        function handleKey(ta) {

            if (event.keyCode == 108 || event.keyCode == 76) {

                                    alert('L pressed.');

            }

        }

    </script>

     

    alert('L pressed.'); will be replaced by your code to open lookup window.

    Hope this will help.

    Sandip,

    Have you looked at using the 'Menus for VS Tools' Add-On?  I think that allows you to register VS forms into the menu structure and you can also give the form a shortcut of some kind (CTRL + S, or something like that). I don't know if you can reuse CTRL + L as Almas stated, because it's already in use.

    Regards,

    Aaron
