char

The low level event char may occur for windows and for components of the types Text Box, Document, Combo Box, Drop Combo Box and Generic Box
The event char occurs when one or more keyboard key transitions results in the production of a character.

Information about the character and key(s) in question can be obtained using the macro %%EvKey.

In the context of this event, the macro %%EvKey returns the ASCII value of the character. When action logic is defined for the event "char", the value of the component will not change when characters are entered, unless explicit code in this action logic causes the value to change.

In MWAPI, this event is called "CHAR".
