Class zwt.event.KeyboardEventManager

A keyboard event manager is used by a widget to process keyboard events and dispatch them to the appropriate handlers.

Handlers are methods previously registered on the event manager to handle a specific type of event. A typical handler method has two input parameters: the object that triggered the event and the event. An optional object argument may also be passed to the handler if it was provided when dispatching the event to the event manager (see zwt.event.EventManager#onEvent).

Keyboard events are catch by the zwt.ui.Window and dispatch to the widget when it has the focus. Therefore method zwt.event.UIEventManager#registerElement does nothing and should never be used.

Defined in: KeyboardEventManager.js.
