Event Data

The EditorKeyPress event's data class is KeyPressEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Handled	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the KeyPress event was handled.
KeyChar	Gets or sets the character corresponding to the key pressed.

Remarks

Unlike the ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyDown event, the EditorKeyPress event is only raised in response to pressing a character key. Note that pressing a character key raises both the ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyDown and EditorKeyPress events. If you continue to depress the key, the events will be triggered repeatedly with a short interval

After a key is released, the ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyUp event is fired.

Key press events are fired in the following order:

• ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyDown
• EditorKeyPress (only for alpha-numeric keys)
• ComponentEditorContainer.EditorKeyUp
