Are you trying to create a shortcut in your menu bar? If so then the code
would look something like this...

case WM_CREATE:
{
HMENU hMenu, hSubMenu;
hMenu = CreateMenu();
hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hSubMenu,MF_STRING,ID_FILE_EXIT,"E&xit");
AppendMenu(hMenu,MF_STRING|MF_POPUP,(UINT)hSubMenu,"&File");
SetMenu(hwnd,hMenu);
}

This would create a menu that uses CTRL+x to as a shortcut to exit the
program and CTRL+F to open a file. Hope this helps you out.
