## K_ANY

Action generated when a keyboard event occurs.

### Callback

    int function(Ihandle *ih, int c); [in C]
    ih:k_any(c: number) -> (ret: number) [in Lua]

ih: identifier of the element that activated the event.
c: identifier of typed key. Please refer to the Keyboard Codes table for a list of possible values.

Returns: If IUP_IGNORE is returned the key is ignored and not processed by the control and not propagated. If returns IUP_CONTINUE, the key will be processed and the event will be propagated to the parent of the element receiving it, this is the default behavior. If returns IUP_DEFAULT the key is processed but it is not propagated. IUP_CLOSE will be processed.

### Notes

Keyboard callbacks depend on the keyboard usage of the control with the focus. So if you return IUP_IGNORE the control will usually not process the key. But be aware that sometimes the control process the key in another event so even returning IUP_IGNORE the key can get processed. Although it will not be propagated.

IMPORTANT: The callbacks "K_*" of the dialog or native containers depend on the IUP_CONTINUE return value to work while the control is in focus.

If the callback does not exists it is automatically propagated to the parent of the element.

#### K_* callbacks

All defined keys are also callbacks of any element, called when the respective key is activated. For example: "K_cC" is also a callback activated when the user press Ctrl+C, when the focus is at the element or at a children with focus. This is the way an application can create shortcut keys, also called hot keys. These callbacks are not available in IupLua.

### Affects

All elements with keyboard interaction.
