Attachmate Extra ver 6.6

[tazhelp]

I am investigating the use of Attachmate Extra and would like to know how to send functions keys using sendkeys.. I have tried @E which passes an <enter> however, I have been unsuccessful in sending functions keys.

You should be able to use the code as shown below to send any set of keys ie mimic written text or as you mention send function keys PF1 to PF24. I've not found any short cuts like the @e for enter.


Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(&quot;<PF1>&quot

Or an enter would look like

Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(&quot;<enter>&quot

If you are using Extra! 6.6, you will have to use VBScript. That method uses a call to a Windows API to send keystrokes:

session.Screen.Sendkeys &quot;@c&quot;, ATM_KEYTYPE_HLLAPI

&quot;@c&quot; in the example is PF12. The functions keys PF1-PF9 are basically @ plus the numbers 1-9, and for PF10 and above you use the letters a-o.

This link contains a table of the codes for function keys, and other keys using the HLLAPI (scroll to the bottom of the page when you get there):

Hi tazhelp,
I have trouble with sending the .sendkeys("<Enter>"). Did you find out how to send this "Enter" key?
Other keys works like "BackSpace", "Home", .....
If you can send "Enter" please help
Thanks'
Pal.

Check the help files. There is a fairly large list of keystrokes there.

Additionally you can record a macro with the keystroke you're looking for and then you'll know.
