SynTaskDialog - Why no shortcuts for CommonButtons?

Hi ab,

I recently noticed that emulated SynTaskDialogs suppress the shortcuts for CommonButtons, i.e. the user can't press y to "click" he Yes button.

System provided dialog:

Emulated dialog:

For reference please see Windows Explorer's deletion confirmation which has shortcuts:

I checked the SynTaskDialog source and noticed the explicit call to StripHotkey at the beginninig of AddButton and wondered why it is there?

Best regards,
Uli.

To avoid checking that the same shortcut is used several times (when adding custom buttons), I suspect, or something approaching?

Which enhancement do you propose?

The easiest solution from my perspective would be to just delete the call to StripHotkey in AddButton - or call it controlled by a flag - and have the translators avoid clashing shortcuts. They have to consider them anyway because NonNative might be false and the system dialog shows the CommonButton shortcuts.

Sounds right to me.

Now bottom buttons won't trim expected shortcut definition, in emulated mode.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you!

One minor nitpick: AFAICS you could make "s" a const parameter now. :-)
