after some more testing......if i take out the -parent => $Window from the settings window then pressing alt+c (for &Close) will work. also the shortcuts will work if anything (apart from the window) has focus. so when the program starts if i put in $ListView->SetFocus() then when i press alt+s the settings window will open, and then if i put $Window->Settings->Setfocus() (the settings button) in Close_Click, when i press alt+s the settings window will come up again.
mark (i think thats it)
