+ @class wxKeyEvent
+ @wxheader{event.h}
+
+ This event class contains information about keypress (character) events.
+
+ Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in wxWidgets:
+ key down and up events and char events. The difference between the first two
+ is clear - the first corresponds to a key press and the second to a key
+ release - otherwise they are identical. Just note that if the key is
+ maintained in a pressed state you will typically get a lot of (automatically
+ generated) down events but only one up so it is wrong to assume that there is
+ one up event corresponding to each down one.
+
+ Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event carries
+ the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric keys is always
+ an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of @c WXK_XXX values
+ from the @ref page_keycodes.
+ The translated key is, in general, the character the user expects to appear
+ as the result of the key combination when typing the text into a text entry
+ zone, for example.
+
+ A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
+ and the standard US keyboard): when the @c 'A' key is pressed, the key down
+ event key code is equal to @c ASCII A == 65. But the char event key code
+ is @c ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
+ @c 'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
+ just @c 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be @c 'A'
+ as well.
+
+ Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code could be
+ found in the key down event handler by checking the value returned by
+ wxKeyEvent::ShiftDown(), in general you should use @c EVT_CHAR for this as
+ for non-alphanumeric keys the translation is keyboard-layout dependent and
+ can only be done properly by the system itself.
+
+ Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed: for
+ example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
+ same key code @c 'a' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
+ the ASCII value of this key combination.
+
+ You may discover how the other keys on your system behave interactively by
+ running the @ref page_samples_text wxWidgets sample and pressing some keys
+ in any of the text controls shown in it.
+
+ @b Tip: be sure to call @c event.Skip() for events that you don't process in
+ key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to work under Windows.
+
+ @note If a key down (@c EVT_KEY_DOWN) event is caught and the event handler
+ does not call @c event.Skip() then the corresponding char event
+ (@c EVT_CHAR) will not happen.
+ This is by design and enables the programs that handle both types of
+ events to be a bit simpler.
+
+ @note For Windows programmers: The key and char events in wxWidgets are
+ similar to but slightly different from Windows @c WM_KEYDOWN and
+ @c WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a
+ char event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
