Overview
The OnKeyPress event of an object allows you to check what key the user has pressed.
Note that this procedure handles printable characters only. Non-printable characters (e.g. control sequences) are handled by the OnKeyDown event.
Note: OnKeyPress doesn't support Unicode characters. If you need Unicode characters but no control characters, use OnUTF8KeyPress.
Example
uses
...LCLType, Dialogs, ...;
...
procedure TMainForm.FormKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: char);
begin
case key of
'0': ShowMessage('"0" key pressed');
'1': ShowMessage('"1" key pressed');
'2': ShowMessage('"2" key pressed');
end;
Key := #0; // Necessary for some widgetsets, e.g. Cocoa, in order to disable processing in subsequent elements.
end;
