Control.OnPreviewKeyDown Method (PreviewKeyDownEventArgs)
.NET Framework (current version)
Raises the PreviewKeyDown event.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)] [SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)] protected virtual void OnPreviewKeyDown( PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e )
Parameters
- e
-
Type:
System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs
A PreviewKeyDownEventArgs that contains the event data.
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.
The OnPreviewKeyDown method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
Notes to Inheritors:
When overriding OnPreviewKeyDown in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnPreviewKeyDown method so that registered delegates receive the event.
