Remarks
The EditorKeyDown event occurs when a key is pressed within an active in-place editor that belongs to the container component. If you continue to depress the key, the event will be triggered repeatedly with a short interval.
The EditorKeyDown event is fired for any key pressed. If you need only alpha-numeric characters to be processed, you can handle the ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyPress event instead. This event occurs only for alpha-numeric characters right after the EditorKeyDown event is generated.
After the key is released, the ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyUp event is fired.
Key press events are fired in the following order:
- EditorKeyDown
- ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyPress (only for alpha-numeric keys)
- ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyUp
