What type of application are you building? If it is a dialog application
then you may have to assign the accelerator in the dialog. If you have
multiple views you may have to reroute the commands to all views using
something like the UpdateAllViews() OnUpdate() mechanism. You may be seeing
it working from the menu since that would set the focus window to the
mainframe.

Using Visual Studio 2005 + Codejock Toolkit Pro.

There are all the usual keys already defined in my accelerator table -
Shift + VK_DELETE for example does ID_EDIT_CUT. I want VK_DELETE (with no
modifier - shift, ctrl etc) to map to ID_EDIT_DELETE - an option I have on
my Edit menu and also on a toolbar. I have added the accelerator key to
the list and it looks very similar to the ID_EDIT_CUT line with the
Modifier set to None instead of Shift, but nothing happens when I press
Delete. The menu option is enabled and works when selected from the menu
or toolbar button, so what else do I need to do to get the ket to map to
ID_EDIT_DELETE.

I wonder if perhaps another window is receiving the key command and doing
nothing with it? I want this key command to apply to all windows.

Thanks.
