I have a web application that I am testing with HP's UFT software. Within my application,
there is a text field with an onkeydown attribute. When a key is pressed within the text field, a function is called which triggers different actions depending on what key was pressed. I am interested in the enter key. When the enter key is pressed, rows are created within the form. How can I simulate the enter key being pressed within the field?
I have tried
field1.Set Chr(13)
field1.FireEvent "onkeydown"
but it doesn't trigger the event.
I am trying aviod using the SendKeys command.
If you use device replay mode (as described in this answer) and send a vbCRLF
your application will be able to see the enter key.
Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2 ''# Changes to device mode
Browser("Enter").Page("Enter").WebEdit("WebEdit").Set "a" & vbCRLF
This works (on IE) for the following sample page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Enter</title>
<script>
function okd() {
if (event.keyCode == 13)
alert("Got enter");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea onkeydown="okd()"></textarea>
</body>
These are the some methods i have tried for simulate keyboard events and worked for me..
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" ' Click Tab Key
oShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" ' Click Enter\Return
Also i have used
Type micAltDwn + "RETURN" + micAltUp ' Click Tab Key
Type micAltDwn + "TAB" + micAltUp ' Click Enter\Return
If u Want to enter characters
oShell.SendKeys "{h}" ' Click h Key
oShell.SendKeys "{i}" ' Click i Key
Type micAltDwn + "h" + micAltUp ' Click h Key
Type micAltDwn + "i" + micAltUp ' Click i Key
WORKING FIDDLE
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
$("#my_id").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
alert("Enter Simulated!!!")
//your function goes here!!!
}
});
});
