Key Up Event

Installed With: Full Development System

Class: VI Events

Type: Notify

Generated when the user releases a key on the keyboard.

Note  LabVIEW only generates events for the Cluster»All Elements source when the cluster has keyboard focus, not when an individual element inside the cluster has keyboard focus.

Event Data Fields

Name	Description
Source	Source of the event. LabVIEW UI refers to any built-in user interface event. 0 LabVIEW UI
Time	Value of the millisecond timer when the event occurred.
VIRef	Reference to the VI on which this event occurred.
ScanCode	Scan code unique for each key on the keyboard. The values are unique for each physical key, and allow you to match Key Up and Key Down events.
Mods	Cluster of Booleans that contain platform-independent modifiers. LabVIEW returns all platform-dependent modifiers in the PlatMods event data field. For key events, this event returns a Boolean indicating if the event occurred on the numeric keypad. For mouse events, this event returns a Boolean indicating if the event was a double-click. For both events, a Boolean is returned if the platform-independent menu key, such as <Ctrl> on Windows or <Command> on Mac OS, was pressed when the event occurred. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field.
PlatMods	Cluster of Booleans that contain platform-dependent modifiers. Specifies if platform-dependent keys, such as <Ctrl>, <Shift>, <Alt>, <Command>, and <Option> were held down when the event was triggered. For filter events, you can modify the data returned by this event data field. A key can be both a Mod and PlatMod. For example, <Ctrl> is the platform-independent menu key on Windows, but you also can use it in platform-dependent programming.
FocusObj	A reference to the object that has keyboard focus. When the event is for a control, it might be a sub-component, like a scale, label, and so on, rather than the control itself. You also can modify the data returned by this event data field.
