Did you know that R:BASE includes a new "SendKeys" Plugin to send one
or more keystrokes
to the active control?
The SendKeys Plugin acts as a simulation, as if the keys are typed at
the keyboard.
SendKeys Plugin is among the built-in tools within R:BASE X and
R:BASE X Enterprise.
Syntax:
PLUGIN SendKeys vResult|<options>
Options:
KEYS - the keys to be simulated, or code for special keys
WINDOW_NAME - the text that appears in the target window's title bar
WAIT - the wait for the keys to be processed by the recipient
Where:
vResult is the variable name to return "OK" or an error message
-- Example 01
SET VAR vResult TEXT = NULL
-- Set focus to an R:BASE Variable Memo control, then wait for 1
second before sending
-- keys. Note the Variable Memo is set in the properties to
accept the [Enter] key.
