Capturing Keyboard Events

Scroll Prev Top Next More

To capture keyboard events, the following EEPs are available within forms and external forms:

 

On Key Down EEP

On Key Press EEP

On Key Up EEP

 

When key events occur, they fire in the same order listed above.

 

Using new syntax supported by the GETPROPERTY command the EEP events can be used to track one key at a time. Also supported by GETPROPERTY is knowing if the [Shift], [Ctrl], and [Alt] keys are pressed.
