  36 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_altDown}
  37
  38 \member{bool}{m\_altDown}
  39
  40 TRUE if the Alt key is pressed down.
  41
  42 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_controlDown}
  43
  44 \member{bool}{m\_controlDown}
  45
  46 TRUE if control is pressed down.
  47
  48 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_keyCode}
  49
  50 \member{long}{m\_keyCode}
  51
  52 Virtual keycode. See \helpref{Keycodes}{keycodes} for a list of identifiers.
  53
  54 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_metaDown}
  55
  56 \member{bool}{m\_metaDown}
  57
  58 TRUE if the Meta key is pressed down.
  59
  60 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_shiftDown}
  61
  62 \member{bool}{m\_shiftDown}
  63
  64 TRUE if shift is pressed down.
  65
  66 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_x}
  67
  68 \member{int}{m\_x}
  69
  70 X position of the event.
  71
  72 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::m\_y}
  73
  74 \member{int}{m\_y}
  75
  76 Y position of the event.
  77
  78 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::wxKeyEvent}
  79
  80 \func{}{wxKeyEvent}{\param{WXTYPE}{ keyEventType}}
  81
  82 Constructor. Currently, the only valid event types are wxEVT\_CHAR and wxEVT\_CHAR\_HOOK.
  83
  84 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::AltDown}
  85
  86 \func{bool}{AltDown}{\void}
  87
  88 Returns TRUE if the Alt key was down at the time of the key event.
  89
  90 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::ControlDown}
  91
  92 \func{bool}{ControlDown}{\void}
  93
  94 Returns TRUE if the control key was down at the time of the key event.
  95
  96 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::GetX}
  97
  98 \func{float}{GetX}{\void}
  99
 100 Returns the X position of the event.
 101

 107
 108 \membersection{wxKeyEvent::KeyCode}
 109
 110 \func{long}{KeyCode}{\void}
 111
 112 Returns the virtual key code. ASCII events return normal ASCII values,
 113 while non-ASCII events return values such as {\bf WXK\_LEFT} for the
 114 left cursor key. See \helpref{Keycodes}{keycodes} for a full list of the virtual key codes.
