Examples

The following code example uses the KeyUp event with the Help class to display pop-up style help to the user.

   // This example demonstrates how to use the KeyUp event with the Help class to display
   // pop-up style help to the user of the application. When the user presses F1, the Help
   // class displays a pop-up window, similar to a ToolTip, near the control. This example assumes
   // that a TextBox control, named textBox1, has been added to the form and its KeyUp
   // event has been connected to this event handler method.
private:
   void textBox1_KeyUp( Object^ /*sender*/, System::Windows::Forms::KeyEventArgs^ e )
   {
      
      // Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. Display help if it is.
      if ( e->KeyCode == Keys::F1 )
      {
         
         // Display a pop-up help topic to assist the user.
         Help::ShowPopup( textBox1, "Enter your first name", Point(textBox1->Right,this->textBox1->Bottom) );
      }
   }

private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. Display help if it is.
    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
    {
        // Display a pop-up help topic to assist the user.
        Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your first name", new Point(textBox1.Right, this.textBox1.Bottom));
    }

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnKeyUp 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 OnKeyUp(KeyEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnKeyUp(KeyEventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
