The virtual keyboard dialog runs its own event loop, so your application's
event loop won't see those events. What it will see is a fldChangedEvent
used to get the field to react to the change in it's text made by the
keyboard dialog when it is closed. Note that this means it's impossible to
keep users from entering specific characters into a field (other than the
numeric option), since the user can enter any character via the keyboard
dialog.
