bool wxUIActionSimulator::Char	(	int	keycode,
		int	modifiers = wxMOD_NONE
	)

Press and release a key.

Parameters:

keycode	Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
modifiers	A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.

bool wxUIActionSimulator::KeyDown	(	int	keycode,
		int	modifiers = wxMOD_NONE
	)

Press a key.

If you are using modifiers then it needs to be paired with an identical KeyUp or the modifiers will not be released (MSW and OSX).

Parameters:

keycode	Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
modifiers	A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.

bool wxUIActionSimulator::KeyUp	(	int	keycode,
		int	modifiers = wxMOD_NONE
	)

Release a key.

Parameters:

keycode	Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
modifiers	A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.
