36\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_altDown}
37
38\member{bool}{m\_altDown}
39
40TRUE if the Alt key is pressed down.
41
42\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_controlDown}
43
44\member{bool}{m\_controlDown}
45
46TRUE if control is pressed down.
47
48\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_keyCode}
49
50\member{long}{m\_keyCode}
51
52Virtual keycode. See \helpref{Keycodes}{keycodes} for a list of identifiers.
53
54\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_metaDown}
55
56\member{bool}{m\_metaDown}
57
58TRUE if the Meta key is pressed down.
59
60\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_shiftDown}
61
62\member{bool}{m\_shiftDown}
63
64TRUE if shift is pressed down.
65
66\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_x}
67
68\member{int}{m\_x}
69
70X position of the event.
71
72\membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_y}
73
74\member{int}{m\_y}
75
76Y position of the event.
77
78\membersection{wxKeyEvent::wxKeyEvent}
79
80\func{}{wxKeyEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ keyEventType}}
81
82Constructor. Currently, the only valid event types are wxEVT\_CHAR and wxEVT\_CHAR\_HOOK.
83
84\membersection{wxKeyEvent::AltDown}
85
86\constfunc{bool}{AltDown}{\void}
87
88Returns TRUE if the Alt key was down at the time of the key event.
89
90\membersection{wxKeyEvent::ControlDown}
91
92\constfunc{bool}{ControlDown}{\void}
93
94Returns TRUE if the control key was down at the time of the key event.
95
96\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetKeyCode}
97
98\constfunc{int}{GetKeyCode}{\void}
99
100Returns the virtual key code. ASCII events return normal ASCII values,
101while non-ASCII events return values such as {\bf WXK\_LEFT} for the
102left cursor key. See \helpref{Keycodes}{keycodes} for a full list of the virtual key codes.
103
104\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetX}
105
106\constfunc{long}{GetX}{\void}
107
108Returns the X position of the event.
109
110\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetY}
111
112\constfunc{long}{GetY}{\void}
113
114Returns the Y position of the event.
115
116\membersection{wxKeyEvent::MetaDown}
117
118\constfunc{bool}{MetaDown}{\void}
119
120Returns TRUE if the Meta key was down at the time of the key event.
121
122\membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetPosition}
123
124\constfunc{wxPoint}{GetPosition}{\void}
125
126\constfunc{void}{GetPosition}{\param{long *}{x}, \param{long *}{y}}
127
128Obtains the position at which the key was pressed.
129
130\membersection{wxKeyEvent::HasModifiers}
131
132\constfunc{bool}{HasModifiers}{\void}
133
134Returns TRUE if either of {\sc Ctrl}, {\sc Alt} or {\sc Meta} keys was down
135at the time of the key event. Note that this function does not take into
136account the {\sc Shift} key state.
137
138\membersection{wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown}
139
140\constfunc{bool}{ShiftDown}{\void}
141
142Returns TRUE if the shift key was down at the time of the key event.
