ButtonBase.OnKeyDown Method
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Provides class handling for the KeyDown event that occurs when the user presses a key while this control has focus.
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Parameters
- e
- Type: System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs
The event data.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | e is Nothing. |
This method marks the KeyDown event as handled by setting the KeyEventArgs.Handled property of the event data to true when ClickMode is not set to Hover and one of the following cases are true:
The user presses the SPACEBAR.
The user presses ENTER and the control accepts keyboard input.
If you override OnKeyDown, always call the base implementation in your OnKeyDown implementation. Failure to call the base implementation prevents base classes from handling the event with a class handler, which might change the run-time behavior of the final class. You can call the base implementation either before or after your special handling, depending on your requirements.
