Methods

Protected method FinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCodeServes as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method InvokeEventHandlerInvokes event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase event system efficiency. (Overrides InputEventArgsInvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object).)
Protected method MemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

No existing keyboard event in WPF uses the KeyboardEventArgs. KeyboardEventArgs serves as the base class for the more specific KeyEventArgs and KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs event data classes, which are used by existing WPF events such as UIElementKeyDown and UIElementLostKeyboardFocus.
