TWinControl.OnKeyPress property
Event handler signalled for character data entered by the user.
Declaration
property OnKeyPress: TKeyPressEvent read FOnKeyPress write FOnKeyPress;Description
This handler only receives characters, not control or other special key
codes. Control keys should be handled by an OnKeyDown handler
instead. The handler can also be used to convert the character into a
different one.
We recommend using
OnUTF8KeyPress to prevent data loss. Characters
are converted from UTF-8 to the system encoding in OnKeyPressEvent,
with possible loss of characters outside the ANSI codepage.
