Send Keystrokes

Problem 1

I want to press Enter key.

Solution 1

This is possible with a coded solution:

1. Add an Assembly Reference to System.Windows.Forms.
2. Add a coded step to the test.

Here is the full code-behind file, excluding the standard using/Imports statements and the Dynamic Pages Reference region:

C#

using System.Windows.Forms;
 
namespace TestProject8
{     
    public class SendKeystrokes : BaseWebAiiTest    {  
        
     
        [CodedStep(@"New Coded Step")]
         public void Keystrokes()
        {                
            Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Enter);
        }
    }
}

VB

Imports System.Windows.Forms
 
Namespace TestProject8
    Public Class SendKeystrokes
        Inherits BaseWebAiiTest
         
        <CodedStep("New Coded Step")> _
        Public Sub KeyStrokes()

            Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Enter)
         
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

        [CodedStep(@"New Coded Step")]
         public void Keystrokes()
        {
            Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("InputValue");
        }
    }
}

VB

Imports System.Windows.Forms
 
Namespace TestProject8
    Public Class SendKeystrokes
        Inherits BaseWebAiiTest
         
        <CodedStep("New Coded Step")> _
        Public Sub KeyStrokes()
 
        Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("InputValue")
        
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Here you can find the list with key codes.

        {
           Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Control | Keys.X);     
        }
    }
