Arguments

Message examined in the method.

True if the message was handled as an accelerator key.

Description

DialogChar is an overridden method in TCustomStaticText. It checks the character code in Message to determine if it is used as the accelerator (shortcut) in the Caption for the control. When the character code is found, the FocusControl is given focus and the return value is set to True.

If the character code is not found, the inherited method is called to broadcast the Message to child controls and get the return value.
