<hr><h2><a name="details"></a>Detailed Description</h2>
The QKeyEvent class contains parameters that describe a key event.
<p>
Key events occur when a key is pressed or released when a widget has
keyboard input focus.
<p>A key event contains a special accept flag which tells whether the
receiver wants the key.  You should call <a href="#d9375a">QKeyEvent::ignore</a>() if the
key press or release event is not handled by your widget.
<p>The QWidget::setEnable() function can be used to enable or disable mouse
and keyboard events for a widget.
<p>The event handlers <a href="qwidget.html#0a4482">QWidget::keyPressEvent</a>() and <a href="qwidget.html#4b620f">QWidget::keyReleaseEvent</a>()
receive key events.
<p>See also  <a href="qfocusevent.html">QFocusEvent</a> and <a href="qwidget.html#6830ee">QWidget::grabKeyboard</a>().
<p>Examples:
 <a href="picture-picture-cpp.html#QKeyEvent">picture/picture.cpp</a>

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="66d690"></a>QKeyEvent::QKeyEvent(<a href="qevent.html#Type">Type</a>type, intkey, intascii, intstate, const<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&amp;text=QString::null, boolautorep=FALSE, ushortcount=1)</h3>
<p>Constructs a key event object.
<p>The <em>type</em> parameter must be <code>QEvent::KeyPress</code> or <code>QEvent::KeyRelease.</code>
<p>If <em>key</em> is 0, the event is not a result of a known key (e.g. it
may be the result of a compose sequence or keyboard macro).
<p><em>text</em> will be returned by <a href="#882dd8">text</a>().
<p>If <em>autorep</em> is TRUE then <a href="#7c7e1e">isAutoRepeat</a>() will be TRUE.
<p><em>count</em> is the number of single keys.
<p>The accept flag is set to TRUE.
<h3 class="fn">void<a name="ae446e"></a>QKeyEvent::accept()</h3>
<p>Sets the accept flag of the key event object.
<p>Setting the accept parameter indicates that the receiver of the event wants
the key event. Unwanted key events are sent to the parent widget.
<p>The accept flag is set by default.
<p>See also  <a href="#d9375a">ignore</a>().
<h3 class="fn">int<a name="f0af69"></a>QKeyEvent::ascii()const</h3>
<p>Returns the ASCII code of the key that was pressed or released.
We recommend using <a href="#882dd8">text</a>() instead.
<p>See also  <a href="#882dd8">text</a>().
<p>Examples:
 <a href="picture-picture-cpp.html#ascii">picture/picture.cpp</a>
<h3 class="fn">int<a name="ddfc7a"></a>QKeyEvent::count()const</h3>
<p>Returns the number of single keys for this event. If <a href="#882dd8">text</a>() is not
empty, this is simply the length of the string.
<p>However, Qt also compresses invisible keycodes, such as BackSpace.
For those, count() returns the number of key presses/repeats this
event represents.
<p>See also  <a href="qwidget.html#55438e">QWidget::setKeyCompression</a>().
<h3 class="fn">void<a name="d9375a"></a>QKeyEvent::ignore()</h3>
<p>Clears the accept flag parameter of the key event object.
<p>Clearing the accept parameter indicates that the event receiver does
not want the key event. Unwanted key events are sent to the parent
widget.
<p>The accept flag is set by default.
<p>See also  <a href="#ae446e">accept</a>().
<h3 class="fn">bool<a name="006d82"></a>QKeyEvent::isAccepted()const</h3>
<p>Returns TRUE if the receiver of the event wants to keep the key.
<h3 class="fn">bool<a name="7c7e1e"></a>QKeyEvent::isAutoRepeat()const</h3>
<p>Returns TRUE if this event comes from an auto-repeating key and
FALSE if it comes from an initial press.
<p>Note that if the event is a multiple-key compressed event which
partly is due to autorepeat, this function returns an indeterminate
value.
<h3 class="fn">int<a name="b1e63d"></a>QKeyEvent::key()const</h3>
<p>Returns the code of the key that was pressed or released.
<p>The header file <a href="qnamespace-h.html">qnamespace.h</a> lists the possible keyboard codes.  These codes
are independent of the underlying window system.
<p>Key code 0 means that the event is not a result of a known key (e.g. it
may be the result of a compose sequence or keyboard macro).
<h3 class="fn"><a href="qt.html#ButtonState">ButtonState</a><a name="c65df4"></a>QKeyEvent::state()const</h3>
<p>Returns the keyboard modifier flags that existed immediately before
the event occurred.
<p>The returned value is <code>ShiftButton, ControlButton</code> and <code>AltButton</code>
OR'ed together.
<p>See also  <a href="#c980e8">stateAfter</a>().
<h3 class="fn"><a href="qt.html#ButtonState">ButtonState</a><a name="c980e8"></a>QKeyEvent::stateAfter()const</h3>
<p>Returns the keyboard modifier flags that existed immediately after
the event occurred.<p><b>Warning:</b> This function cannot be trusted.
<p>See also  <a href="#c65df4">state</a>().
<h3 class="fn"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a><a name="882dd8"></a>QKeyEvent::text()const</h3>
<p>Returns the Unicode text which this key generated.
<p>See also  <a href="qwidget.html#55438e">QWidget::setKeyCompression</a>().
