wx.NavigationKeyEvent¶

This event class contains information about navigation events, generated by navigation keys such as tab and page down.

This event is mainly used by wxWidgets implementations. A wx.NavigationKeyEvent handler is automatically provided by wxWidgets when you enable keyboard navigation inside a window by inheriting it from NavigationEnabled<>.

Events Emitted by this Class¶

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.NavigationKeyEvent parameter.

EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY: Process a navigation key event.
