BUG : OnKeyDown Event fires incorrectly
Version : 1.9.3.1022
Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate x86 6.1.7601 (With Service Pack 1)
Description
------------------
On every key down event, `OnKeyDown` event fires twice once with either `Key` or `KeyChar` being 0.
# Expected behavior
On key press, OnKeyDown event should fire with `Key` set to key code (VK_ENTER (13) for enter key etc.) and `KeyChar` set to the key character, if the pressed key is an alphanumeric key.
# Observed behavior
On key press, OnKeyDownEvent fires twice, once with `Key` set to key code and `KeyChar` being 0. It is then followed by another OnKeyDown event, with `Key` set to 0 and `KeyCode` set if available else 0.
# Remarks
This behavior makes it impossible to associate the key code to the character that was typed in
How to reproduce
------------------
Attach an event handler to a focusable control (edit,button or anything set to Can Focused) with the following code:
function edit1OnKeyDown(Sender,Key,KeyChar,Shift)
{
print(Key + " : "+ KeyChar);
}
A test widget with this code is attached herewith.
Typing a b c d e f g h`shift + x` `backspace` will give an output similar to what has been shown in the logs.
These were typed with the CAPS LOCK being OFF
Expected output:
CHARACTER KEY CODE KEY CHAR
--------- -------- --------
A 65 97
B 66 98
C 67 99
D 68 100
E 69 101
F 70 102
G 71 103
H 72 104
`Shift` 16 0
X 88 88 (with Shift); 120 (without)
`Backspace` 8 8
Observed Output:
