Inherited Members

From KeyEvent

character
wchar character;

the character represented by the key that was typed. This is the final character that results after all modifiers have been applied. For example, when the user types Ctrl+A, the character value is 0x01. It is important that applications do not attempt to modify the character value based on a stateMask (such as SWT.CTRL) or the resulting character will not be correct.

keyCode
int keyCode;

the key code of the key that was typed, as defined by the key code constants in class <code>SWT</code>. When the character field of the event is ambiguous, this field contains the unicode value of the original character. For example, typing Ctrl+M or Return both result in the character '\r' but the keyCode field will also contain '\r' when Return was typed.

stateMask
int stateMask;

the state of the keyboard modifier keys at the time the event was generated, as defined by the key code constants in class <code>SWT</code>.

doit
bool doit;

A flag indicating whether the operation should be allowed. Setting this field to <code>false</code> will cancel the operation.

toString
String toString()
