| KeyDown | The KeyAscii or KeyCode parameter can have negative values (because of Unicode). You can manage the KeyAscii / KeyCode value simply by using the [clsCommonWrapper.ChrW] or [clsCommonWrapper.AscW] methods. It is also possible to obtain the real Unsigned Integer (in a VB6 long) from the negative value simply by converting the KeyAscii / KeyCode value to a Long using the [clsCommonWrapper.MakeDWord] (KeyAscii, 0) method. |
| KeyPress | The KeyAscii or KeyCode parameter can have negative values (because of Unicode). You can manage the KeyAscii / KeyCode value simply by using the [clsCommonWrapper.ChrW] or [clsCommonWrapper.AscW] methods. It is also possible to obtain the real Unsigned Integer (in a VB6 long) from the negative value simply by converting the KeyAscii / KeyCode value to a Long using the [clsCommonWrapper.MakeDWord] (KeyAscii, 0) method. |

Methods
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ApplyFontChanges | When setting a new font on the control you need to call this function in order to refresh the interface | |
| ExternalInitControl | Some controls contained into this package may have bad iterations when used into Usercontrols. This because VB6 cannot detect, in some cases, that the usercontrol is in Design or User mode so the control may appear running at design time (so you cannot move it in many cases). Controls that may have problems are: ctlUniTextBoxXP, ctlUniRichTextBoxXP, ctlUniListBoxXP, ctlUniListBoxExXP, ctlUniComboBoxXP Check this function for a solution sample |
|

| hWnd | (Long) | Retuns the handle associated with the control |
| IsInIME | (Boolean) | You can use this property for knowing if the KeyPress, KeyDown and KeyUp events have been raised by the active IME window associated to your control. |
| IsStarted | (Boolean) | Returns True if the control has been started (a textbox handle has been created) |
| MouseIsOverSelection | (Boolean) | Verifies if the mouse is hovering a selected area of text into the control |
