in contextmenu you can do this

 

Code

MenuItem i3 = new MenuItem(Trader, new EventHandler(this.OpenOrder),Shortcut.F11);

Using ContextMenuStrip and ToolStripItems I haven't found a way to get this shortcut key to work in NT7 - and it is highly useful.
Anyone know the answer?

I have looked at hotkeys but again I can't get it to work just yet.

NT 7 upgraded ContextMenu to ContextMenuStrip. You can see quick sample how to implement Context Menu Items in the attached file. To PrTester and others: Please DO NOT bypass TriggerCustomEvent or you can end up messing up internal NinjaTrader Events and get unpredictable results and/or behavior. P.S. Attached file is for NT7 only. NT 6.5 users do not bother trying it.

Does anyone how this for NT8? Looks like ContextMenuStrip is not part of ChartControl
