This will be a tough one, and not foolproof. The VFP menu system lives
completely outside both the object model and the event model.
BUT every menu item calls a program, so in the first lines of that program
you can make API calls to check key status on those keys, I suppose. But as
I say it's going to be hit-or-miss whether you get to that code before the
keys are released or not.
Generally speaking, when designing a system one sticks to things that are
known to work rather than plucking non-standard behaviors out of the air and
then looking to implement them. <s>
There is U/I precedence for this, I suppose. There's a keystroke in Word
that makes entire menus go walkies. It's the cause of a huge number of posts
in the Word newsgroups from people who don't know how they lost the menu and
just want it back. ;-)
