Input Parameters:



Parameter Name

Parameter Description

Data Type

Parameter Name

Parameter Description

Mandatory

Data Type

strKey

Enter the key which you want to press from the key board. 

Yes

String



Example:

You can use PressKeys action to open the Find dialog on the browser, which is done manually using Ctrl + F.  While using the PressKeys action, the data to be passed is ~^F where ^ means Control. See the list below for the keys and their meaning).

The action returns 0, if the key is pressed successfully else it will return 1 in any other case. 

Note: If a PressKeys action does not execute on an Inactive Screen, refer to PressKeys Action does not Execute on an Inactive Screen.

Important Note:

The data to be passed here is only ^F. However ^ has a special meaning in QAS, it must be preceded with an escape sequence ~. Hence the data passed is written as ~^F.
Make sure to prefix an escape sequence which is a tilda for the following characters which has a special meaning in Qualitia. The characters are {,}, ^, ~
Example:

  1. If key to be sent is {F1}, enter data as ~{F1~}.
  2. To send {TAB}, enter data as ~{TAB~}.
  3. To send {ENTER}, enter data as ~{ENTER~}.

Use the PressKeys action to send keystrokes to applications that have no automation interface. Most keyboard characters are represented by a single keystroke. Some keyboard characters are made up of combinations of keystrokes (CTRL+SHIFT+HOME, for example). To send a single keyboard character, send the character itself as the string argument. For example, to send the letter x, send the string argument "x".


You can use PressKeys to send more than one keystroke at a time. To do this, create a compound string argument that represents a sequence of keystrokes by appending each keystroke in the sequence to the one before it. For example, to send the keystrokes a, b, and c, you need to send as "abc". The PressKeys method uses some characters as modifiers of characters (instead of using their face-values). This set of special characters consists of parentheses, brackets, braces, and the:

  • plus sign       "+",

  • caret             "^", (use with an escape character [~])

  • percent sign "%",

  • and tilde       "~"

Enter these characters by enclosing them within braces "{}". For example, to enter the plus sign, enter the string argument "{+}". Brackets "[ ]" have no special meaning when used with PressKeys, but you must enclose them within braces to accommodate applications that do give them a special meaning.

  • To send bracket characters, enter the string argument "{[}" for the left bracket and "{]}" for the right one.

  • To send brace characters, enter the string argument "}" for the left brace and "{" for the right one.

  • To send a key combination that includes Ctrl key such as Ctrl + N send "~^n"

Some keystrokes do not generate characters (such as ENTER and TAB). Some keystrokes represent actions (such as BACKSPACE and BREAK). To send these kinds of keystrokes, enter the associated arguments as shown in the following table:



Key

Argument

Key

Argument

BACKSPACE

~{BACKSPACE~}, ~{BS~}, or ~{BKSP~}

BREAK

~{BREAK~}

CAPS LOCK

 ~{CAPSLOCK~}

F15

~{F15~}

F16

~{F16~}



To send keyboard characters that are comprised of a regular keystroke in combination with a SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT, create a compound string argument that represents the keystroke combination. You can do it by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:



Key

Arguments

Key

Arguments

Shift

~+

Ctrl

~^

Alt

~%



 When used this way, these special characters are not enclosed within a set of braces.

To specify that a combination of SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT should be held down while several other keys are pressed, create a compound string argument with the modified keystrokes enclosed in parentheses. For example, to send the keystroke combination that specifies that the SHIFT key is held down while:

  • e and c are pressed, enter the string argument "+(ec)".

  • e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT), enter the string argument "+ec".

You can use the PressKeys action to send a pattern of keystrokes that consists of a single keystroke pressed several times in a row. To do this, create a compound string argument that specifies the keystroke you want to repeat, followed by the number of times you want it repeated. To do this, use a compound string argument of the form {keystroke number}. For example, to send the letter "x" ten times, you would send the string argument "~{x 10~}" where you need to ensure that you enter a space between keystroke and number.



  • The only keystroke pattern you can send is the kind that is comprised of a single keystroke pressed several times. For example, you can send "x" ten times, but you cannot do the same for "Ctrl+x".

  • You cannot automate the PRINT SCREEN key ~{PRTSC~} to an application.

  • To send a space, enter the string "

Example:
Consider a bank application where on adding a user an account number is generated which is unique and consists of alphanumeric characters. The number of characters in that account number is 10 where the first 5 are alphabets and remaining five are numbers.

Suppose the account number is YuIFp96062. If this has to be verified for the pattern mentioned, we can use the action ComparePattern as follows:

  • strPattern -  [a-z]~{0,5~}[0-9]~{5~}

  • strData –  YuIFp96062

  • blnCase -    False

ComparePattern                 “[a-z]~{0,5~}[0-9]~{5~}“                   "YuIFp96062"                  "false"

Here the ComparePattern action shall verify that data mentioned matched the specified pattern .The action will return 0, if the data matches the specified pattern , else it will return 2 if the data does not match the pattern. In any other case it will return 1.

If the pattern is using Qualitia's special characters like {,},/,^ then they should be prefixed with /.

Special characters and sequences are used in writing patterns for regular expressions. For a complete list of the regular expression syntax visit the VBScript syntax Guide for Regular Expressions.
