OnKeyUp/OnKeyDown via Lua

[pluginpatch]

I am a new user on these forums and dabbling a bit in eso addons.

I am having trouble getting the handlers OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp to work. I have mostly used this post:
http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2318
as a reference.

I have the following

local wm = GetWindowManager()

local container = wm:CreateTopLevelWindow("Container")
container:SetDimensions(600,600)
container:SetAnchor(CENTER, GuiRoot, CENTER, 0, 0)
container:SetHidden(true)
container:SetKeyboardEnabled(true)

container.wheel = wm:CreateControl("$(parent)Wheel", container, CT_TEXTURE)
container.wheel:SetTexture("esoui/art/quickslots/quickslot_mapping_bg.dds")
container.wheel:SetAnchor(CENTER, container, CENTER, 0, 0)

local function EventKeyDown(self, key)
    container:SetHidden(false)
end
container:SetHandler("OnKeyDown", function(self,key,ctrl,alt,shift,command) EventKeyDown(self, key) end)

I used to have if statements to check for specific keys, but I was afraid they were messing me up.
When setting the texture SetHidden(true) I do see the texture, so it works, but I cannot make the key events work.

If you see the texture, doesn't that mean the key events are working? You're setting it to hidden initially and showing on (any) keypress.

One other note: you should name the root control something a little more specific than "Container". I'm not sure how it'd handle duplicate root window names, but it's best to avoid naming conflicts.

Ha, sorry, I meant the opposite. When setting the texture SetHidden(false) I do see the texture.

I will try renaming the control.
