keyDown

The low level event keyDown may occur for windows and for components of the types Text Box, Document, Combo Box, Drop Combo Box and Generic Box.

The ebent keyDown occurs when a key is pressed that is not designated to be a function key.

Information about the key in question can be obtained using the macro %%EvKey.

Hint: It is more likely that a key requires "action logic" when the key is released then when it is depressed.

In the context of this event, the macro %%EvKey returns a string describing the meaning of the key (e.g. "F8", "ENTER", "ALT", "ESC").

In MWAPI, this event is called "KEYDOWN". Go to the alphabetic list of events.
