key_data()

keys xtd::forms::key_event_args::key_data ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Gets the key data for a xtd::forms::control::key_down or xtd::forms::control::key_up event.

Returns

A xtd::forms::keys representing the key code for the key that was pressed, combined with modifier flags that indicate which combination of CMD, CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT keys was pressed at the same time.

Remarks

You can use constants from Keys to extract information from the key_data property. Use the bitwise AND operator to compare data returned by key_data with constants in Keys to obtain information about which keys the user pressed. To determine whether a specific modifier key was pressed, use the command, control, shift, and alt properties.
