Script Help

[scott257us]

I am having problems with the scripted attached to below,
everything works with the exception of the TABS and ENTER. I have used the same format on other programs but with JDE it just doesn't seem to work. But if I hit the keys on the keyboard they work.??? Please help sorry I left off the code, here it is

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "jde"
Wscript.Sleep 5000
objShell.SendKeys "password"
objshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
objshell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
objshell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
WScript.Quit



Thank You,

You probably need to do an App Activate.

I hope you find this post helpful.

here's the syntax for AppActivate:
WSHShell.Run ("jde.exe")
WshShell.AppActivate ("jde's window title")

the window title must match exatly what shows up on the window when it's run.

i tend to chuck the AppActivate in a loop (to handle composure time)
'cant recall what it returns on success but i am sure you can find that out
For i = 1 To HowLongWillIWait
If obj.AppActivate("windowname") = 0 Then
Exit For 'terrible i know
End If
Wscript.Sleep 1000 'terrible i know
i = i + 1
Next

AppActivate returns a Boolean indicating success(True) or failure(False).
