When the focus is moved away from the data ABC, Qualitia will automatically encrypt the text to "vHpmlfI4R3PQJskt3nuqw==þNWE3ZDdkNjE3N2JmNDM2ODgxMzQwYWI1MTA3YWNjMDc="

Suppose the user want to open the Find dialog on the Browser window under test. Manually this is done by pressing the keys Control and F simultaneously. This opens the Find dialog on the browser window. The same thing can be done using the action PressKeys .The data to be passed to the action in this case will be given as ~^F where ^ means Control. (See the list below for the keys and their meaning.

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

Important Note:

Ideally the data to be passed here is only ^F, however as ^ has a special meaning in Qualitia it has to be preceded with an escape sequence ~. Hence the data passed will be ~^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 {,}, ^, ~

Ex:

If key to be sent is {F1} then user should pass data as ~{F1~}

 To send {TAB} then user should pass data as ~{TAB~}

 To send {ENTER} user should pass data as ~{ENTER~}

Use the PressKeys method 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 would send the string argument "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 escape character (~))
percent sign "%",
and tilde "~"

Send these characters by enclosing them within braces "{}". For example, to send the plus sign, send 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 (for dynamic data exchange (DDE) for example).

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

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, send the arguments shown in the following table:

Key	Argument
BACKSPACE	~{BACKSPACE~}, ~{BS~}, or ~{BKSP~}
BREAK	~{BREAK~}
CAPS LOCK	~{CAPSLOCK~}
DEL or DELETE	~{DELETE} or ~{DEL~}
DOWN ARROW	~{DOWN~}
END	~{END~}
ENTER	~{ENTER~} or ~
ESC	~{ESC~}
HELP	~{HELP~}
HOME	~{HOME~}
INS or INSERT	~{INSERT~} or ~{INS~}
LEFT ARROW	~{LEFT~}
NUM LOCK	~{NUMLOCK~}
PAGE DOWN	~{PGDN~}
PAGE UP	~{PGUP~}
PRINT SCREEN	~{PRTSC~}
RIGHT ARROW	~{RIGHT~}
SCROLL LOCK	~{SCROLLLOCK~}
TAB	~{TAB~}
UP ARROW	~{UP~}
F1	~{F1~}
F2	~{F2~}
F3	~{F3~}
F4	~{F4~}
F5	~{F5~}
F6	~{F6~}
F7	~{F7~}
F8	~{F8~}
F9	~{F9~}
F10	~{F10~}
F11	~{F11~}
F12	~{F12~}
F13	~{F13~}
F14	~{F14~}
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 do this by preceding the regular keystroke with one or more of the following special characters:
Key Special Character
SHIFT +
CTRL ^ (Use with escape character (~))
ALT %
Note: 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, send the string argument "+(ec)".
e is pressed, followed by a lone c (with no SHIFT), send the string argument "+ec".
If you want to send a key combination that includes Ctrl key, send it like this: to send Ctrl + N send "~^n".

You can use the PressKeys method 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. You do this using 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}". Be sure to include 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 send the PRINT SCREEN key ~{PRTSC~} to an application.
To send a space, send 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]/{5/}[0-9]/{5/}$
strData – YuIFp96062
blnCase - False

ComparePattern "/^[a-z]/{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 /.

CompareArray

This action compares two arrays for equality.

Input Parameters:

Parameter Name

Parameter Description

Mandatory

Data Type

firstArray

The first array whose items are separate by carat (^) operator.

No

match

This parameter specifies the type of comparison to be done. It can be one of the following:

Exact – This will compare the items of the array for exact match that is size of the two arrays should match. The sequence in which the items occur in the arrays should match. This is a one to one comparison.
Partial- This compares if the second array is a sub-list of the first. The sub-list items in the second array need not be in the same sequence as they appear in the first array. However, it is not vice versa, that is, it will not check if the first array is a sub-list of the seconds array. In this case, the action will fail.

No

CompareArray "1^2^3^4" "1^2^3^4" "exact"
CompareArray "1^2^3^4^5^6" "2^1^3^4" "partial"

StoreWindowHandle

This action fetches the handle (identifier) of a window and stores under the specified key. This key can the be used in action like SelectPage and ClosePopupBrowser to work on the specific page. This action can be used when the name of the window on which user needs to work on is not known.
