The text that describes the input gesture, such as Ctrl+C for the Copy command. The default is an empty string ("").

Attributes: BindableAttribute

Examples

The following examples show how to use the InputGestureText property to assign keyboard shortcuts text to menu items.

<MenuItem Header="_Cut" InputGestureText="Ctrl+X"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Find" InputGestureText="Ctrl+F"/>

mia = new MenuItem();
mia.Header = "_Cut";
mia.InputGestureText = "Ctrl+X";
mi.Items.Add(mia);

Remarks

This property does not associate the input gesture with the menu item; it simply adds text to the menu item. The application must handle the user's input to carry out the action. For information on how to associate a command with a menu item, see Command.
