TabControl..::.IsInputKey Method

Determines whether the specified key is a regular input key or a special key that requires preprocessing.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overrides Function IsInputKey ( _
	keyData As Keys _
) As Boolean
protected override bool IsInputKey(
	Keys keyData
)
protected:
virtual bool IsInputKey(
	Keys keyData
) override
abstract IsInputKey : 
        keyData:Keys -> bool 
override IsInputKey : 
        keyData:Keys -> bool 

Parameters

keyData
Type: System.Windows.Forms..::.Keys
One of the Keys values.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the specified key is a regular input key; otherwise, false.
Remarks

Call this method during window-message preprocessing to determine whether the specified key is a regular input key that should be sent directly to the tab control or a special key (such as PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN) that should preprocessed. In the latter case, send the key to the control only if it is not consumed by the preprocessing phase.
