Event Type

_dispTextDocumentKeyPressEvents_BeforeKeyPressEventHandler

Implements

BeforeKeyPress

Examples

This example creates a small string dictionary and uses it to automatically translate some English words for colors to their hexadecimal representations by connecting to a BeforeKeyPress event. Replace the code in the Connect.cs file with the example code below. Run this example and open a text document in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). In the text document type "red", "green", or "blue" to see the event capturing BeforeKeyPress method translate the text to "#ff0000", "#00cc00" and "#0000ff".

Remarks

BeforeKeyPress occurs before the editor (or other filters) do any processing on the key. The user may cancel any further behavior that may be caused by the key press (including the character appearing in the editor) by setting the value of Cancel to true.
