Key (gb.qt4)

This class is used for getting information about a key event, and contains the constants that represent the keys.

NEVER use the key values directly, as they change between GUI components. Always use these constants!

NEVER use numeric values or the Asc function to test an alphabetic key, use the Key array accessor.

The Integer values shown for constants below are the values the QT toolkit provides.
They will be different for GTK
For example.

Const ControlKey As Integer = 16777249 (with QT)
but...
Const ControlKey As Integer = 65507 when using GTK

This class is static.

This class acts like a read-only static array.
