Accelerators in one frame being activated from another

Hi.

I have a program that uses multiple top-level frames. One of the frames
is the "main" one and contains a menu bar and tool bar. The menu items
in the main frame have accelerators. I want the actions associated with
these menu items to be activated even if the accelerator is pressed when
one of the other top-level frames has the focus.

Is there an easy way or accepted idiom to do this?

Thanks,

Cameron

I haven't tried this but I think you would have to place the Action in the
ActionMap of each Frame individually, then place the Action's accelerator in
the input map for that frame.
