Use
This code is returned from Wimp_Poll and indicates that a key has been pressed while a window belonging to the current application has the input focus.
Notes
If the application does not wish to act upon a keypress such as a ‘hot key’, then the keypress can be passed on to other applications by calling Wimp_ProcessKey.
If the caret is inside a writeable icon when a key is pressed, Wimp_Poll will not generate this code for Wimp Managed Key Presses.
Wide characters are reported using multiple Key_Pressed events.
