disable ctrl+space excel keyboard shortcut

[melvinjn]

Hi all



I would like to disable ctrl+space shortcut key used in MS Excel 2013 in order to be used with another application on Excel 2013. Please let me know how this can work ?

Thanks much.

Your other application should have it's own keyboard hooks, so disabling the standard ones is unnecessary. If you're developing the application, it's generally considered poor practice to 'steal' keyboard shortcuts that users might already expect to behave in a certain way.

That said, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc179143.aspx

From within Excel, you could use a macro like:

Sub Disable_Ctrl_Space()
Application.OnKey "^ ", ""
End Sub

but that might impact your other application's use of it too...

Thanks much for the information. I just realised I could change shortcuts for the other application but even that does not seem to work. I guess I have to run as applications for earlier OS.
