[Solved] Keyup, FireKeyEvents and Unicode support

[Hessner]

Hi

Starting out with Test Studio. My first "stop" was some javascript code using the Keyup event.

In the docs I found that "FireKeyEvents" should be turned on, but I could not find that option.

It turned out that uncheck off "Unicode Support" was the way forward.

Regards.

Hello Bo,

Yes you are right, however in some scenarios the key events are not fired up and you have to do so manually in code.

Could you please describe in more details what exactly issue do you experience so we can better assist you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,

Was posting so if anyone searching "FireKeyEvents" would get a relevant hit :-)

 

Here are the story:

We have an Angular directive where keyup are tested. something like this:

elem.bind('keyup', function (event) { // Only proceed if key 0-9, numpad 0-9 or ctrl+v is pressed to trigger the serviceif (elem[0].validity.valid && ((event.keyCode >= 48 && event.keyCode <= 57) || (event.keyCode >= 96 && event.keyCode <= 105) || event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode === 86)) {

 

This event was not fired, so my first attempt was to send ctrl+v via code, like this:

HtmlInputText c = Find.ById<HtmlInputText>("cpr");
c.Focus();

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.LControlKey);
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("v");

Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyUp(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.LControlKey);

 

This did not do the trick - then I discovered that unchecking "Unicode Support" solved the matter.

 

Regards.
