Constructor Detail

### KeyPressEvent

    protected KeyPressEvent()

  Protected constructor, use `DomEvent.fireNativeEvent(com.google.gwt.dom.client.NativeEvent, com.google.gwt.event.shared.HasHandlers)` to fire key press events.

Method Detail

### getType

    public static DomEvent.Type<KeyPressHandler> getType()

  Gets the event type associated with key press events.

  Returns:
    the handler type

### getAssociatedType

    public final DomEvent.Type<KeyPressHandler> getAssociatedType()

  Description copied from class: `GwtEvent`
  Returns the type used to register this event. Used by handler manager to dispatch events to the correct handlers.

  Specified by:
    `getAssociatedType` in class `DomEvent<KeyPressHandler>`
  Returns:
    the type

### getCharCode

    public char getCharCode()

  Gets the char code for this event.

  Returns:
    the char code

### toDebugString

    public java.lang.String toDebugString()

  Description copied from class: `GwtEvent`
  This is a method used primarily for debugging. It gives a string representation of the event details. This does not override the toString method because the compiler cannot always optimize toString out correctly. Event types should override as desired.

  Overrides:
    `toDebugString` in class `GwtEvent<KeyPressHandler>`
  Returns:
    a string representing the event's specifics.

### dispatch

    protected void dispatch(KeyPressHandler handler)

  Description copied from class: `GwtEvent`
  Should only be called by `HandlerManager`. In other words, do not use or call.

  Specified by:
    `dispatch` in class `GwtEvent<KeyPressHandler>`
  Parameters:
    `handler` - handler
