Class KeyEvent

java.lang.Object
  jcontrol.ui.vole.event.KeyEvent

public class KeyEvent
extends Object

This event may be generated when a Keyboard key is pressed. It should be sent to the top level component to be automatically passed through the focus path down to a basic component, for example a button. Until now, the KeyEvent must be generated manually, which is mostly done by continuously requesting the Keyboard by calling readKey.
