As of version .90 and higher the arguments in the events are
almost moved to there origin objects.
In you request it is the mouse
Use gb.qt.Mouse to see what is available and
use gb.qt.Key for the keyboard

Do not forget to set  DrawingArea1.Tracking=TRUE
else it will not work

This code snipped works here.

' should be done in property sheet  or the initialize routine.of the form
PUBLIC SUB DrawingArea1_KeyPress()
  DrawingArea1.Tracking = TRUE
END

' this shows the mouse position in the area
PUBLIC SUB DrawingArea1_MouseMove()
  TextBox1.Text = Mouse.X
  TextBox2.Text = Mouse.Y
END
