Visual basic - Access key

A key that the user can press (usually in combination with the Alt key) to move focus to a control. Typically, it also fires the control's Click event. Access keys are accompanied by the visual cue of an underlined letter in a control's accompanying caption and are typically only available when the cue is actually visible. Almost all controls that have a Caption property in Visual Basic support access keys, including menus. A TextBox control can also have an access key, by associating it with the caption of a label. Compare with Shortcut key.
