Remarks
Information pertaining to key input can be obtained in several different ways in WPF. Key-related events, such as KeyDown and KeyUp, provide key state information through the KeyEventArgs object that is passed to the event handler. Key state information can also be obtained through the static methods on the Keyboard class, such as IsKeyUp and GetKeyStates. The Keyboard class reports the current state of the keyboard.
