AutomationProperties.AccessKey attached property

Gets or sets the access key for the specified element.

XAML Attribute Usage
Copy 

<object AutomationProperties.AccessKey="stringForKey" />

XAML Values

stringForKey

The access key string for the element.

Remarks

When getting this property in code, use GetAccessKey. When setting this property in code, use SetAccessKey.

An access key (sometimes referred to as a keyboard shortcut or mnemonic) is a character in the text of a menu, menu item, or label of a control such as a button that invokes the associated menu function. For example, to provide a shortcut way to open the File menu (for which the access key is typically "F"), an element might have this attached property set to "ALT+F".

Important  Setting this attached property does not automatically establish key-event handling for the string you specify. All the property does is enable you to notate (to assistive technologies) what the access key is. The actual key-handling behavior must be done separately, using general key-event handling code. For more info, see Keyboard interactions.
