**AlignShortcutsToLeft( **//value//** )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| //value// | An optional BYTE value used to position any menu shortcuts. The default value is 1. |

The **AlignShortcutsToLeft** method is used to left align the menu shortcuts or hot keys specified. These shortcuts always appear to the right of the menu text. This method is used to simply determine how they are aligned. If //value// is zero (0), the shortcuts are right aligned.

**Implementation:**

The method is not called anywhere within the **MenuStyleManager** Class. It is an optional method that can be used by the developer to detect and possibly change the alignment of menu shortcuts at runtime.
