Can anyone tell me the difference between the KeyDown event, the KeyPress event and the KeyUp event? I checked the msdn site and it does not explain it much.
Can anyone tell me in simple logical sense when each of the event occurs? I feel that all the above event occurs when a key is pressed. So what is the exact difference between them.
KeyDown: happens when the person presses a key (when the keyboard first detects a finger on a key, this happens when the key is pressed down).
KeyPress: happens when a key is pressed and then released.
KeyUp: happens when the key is released
You are right that all of these events occur when a key is pressed and then released, in the order I described above.
