sendkeys

In window form, I made a button and I'm trying to make it send F1 to a specific window (Such as FireFox, My Computer, etc...) My questions are : How do I do it by the window's name? (such as "Mozilla Firefox") How do I do it by the process's name? (such as firefox.exe) Kyle Rozendo By Window name: [DllImport("User32.dll")] static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName); [DllImport("User32.dll")] static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd); IntPtr ptrFF = FindWindow(null, "Mozilla Firefox"); SetForegroundWindow(ptrFF); SendKeys.SendWait("{F1}"); By Process name:

In WebDriver, if I use sendKeys it will append my string to the value that already exists in the field. I can't clear it by using clear() method because the second I do that, the webpage will throw an error saying that it has to be between 10 and 100. So I can't clear it or an error will be thrown before I can put in the new value using sendKeys, and if I sendKeys it just appends it to the value already there. Is there anything in WebDriver that lets you overwrite the value in the field? Sergii Pozharov I think you can try to firstly select all the text in the field and then send the new

This is an issue I've ran into before, but I've always given up solving the problem and worked out a work around. Not today (hopefully). I'm trying to make a bot for the classic Doom II. I want my bot to have access to the main menu which is accessed via the escape key. Naturally I tried: sendkeys.send("{ESC}") No luck. But then something weird happened. I accidently ran the code when I was already on the menu... and it closed the menu (which is normal if you press escape on the menu). So clearly Doom II listens to Sendkeys. I've since tried sendinput, postmessage, and simulateinput. None have

I am trying to write a simple script that will send the key combo of CTRL + WINDOWS KEY + TAB . The code below sends the keys CTRL + ALT + TAB Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.SendKeys "^%{TAB}" However when I try to replace "%" (aka the ALT key) with LWIN (aka the Left Windows Key) it says Syntax Error. I tried the following, but had no luck: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.SendKeys "^{LWIN}{TAB}" Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.SendKeys "^{LWIN}+{TAB}" Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

I want to send Ctrl + Shift + F1 combination of keys to an application. But when I try to send the keys i am getting an error,the error is, ^+F1 is not a valid key. The code I am using is: System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{^+F1}"); Mark Hall Looking at the documentation you need to have your braces around just the F1. Try this to see if it works System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("^+{F1}"); From above link by enclosing the ^ and + in the braces you are sending the literal character. The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings to

I've spent the last two days working on this problem. Most of the content I've found on this topic doesn't address the issue I'm having, so I'm hopeful that someone here can help me. I've been working on some code that does the following from a "master scorecard" workbook: Takes each "student" sheet in the workbook and copies the sheet into a new workbook, Does a few minor manipulations of the new workbook, Imports a module of code into the new workbook, Adds a Workbook_Open event and a Workbook_BeforeClose event to the new workbook (to make certain sheets xlVeryHidden depending on level of
