• Index—Index of the event source within an individual event diagram.
• Time—Value of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.

Occurs on a control with keyboard focus. If a key press matches a keyboard shortcut, such as <Ctrl-C> or <Ctrl-V>, the software does not generate a Key Down event, regardless of whether the menu item is enabled.

• Index—Index of the event source within an individual event diagram.
• Time—Value of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.
• Char—Value of a character that corresponds to the key pressed on the keyboard.
• Virtual Key—Enumerated type indicating the virtual key code of the key pressed. Values include ASCII, Shift, NumLock, F1, and so on.
• Scan Code—Scan code unique for each key on the keyboard. The values are unique for each physical key.
• Modifiers—Cluster of Booleans that contain platform-independent modifiers. LabVIEW NXG returns all platform-independent modifiers in the Platform Modifiers event data field.
• Platform Modifiers—Cluster of Booleans that contain platform-dependent modifiers and specifies if platform-dependent keys, such as <Ctrl>, <Shift>, <Alt>, <Command>, and <Option> were held down when the event was triggered. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field. A key can also be both a Modifier and a Platform Modifier.
• IsRepeat?—Indicates whether the user pressed a key or held a key down.
• Focus Ref—A reference to the object that has keyboard focus.
