Keyboard functions in Delphi

In Delphi, the form, and many controls have events for key presses OnKeyDown, OnKeyPress, OnKeyUp, etc. the Key is passed in as a Word value, but when cast with the ?Chr(Key)? function it will be come a Character from the keyboard. As for writing the text out to the screen, TextRect(Rect: TRect; X, Y: Integer; const Text: string); will let you write the text anywhere on your canvas that you want to and that should get you started.

Good Luck
