Hello All.

How can I send ENTER to particular text box assuming I don't know its coordinates, only name is known?

Thanks.

Thanks, but I have a different problem. It's not just about sending line feed to text area.
The problem is that I have a text box which accepts only 4 chars, and submits data on keyup (I guess it's keyup). So when I just put CONTENT=1234 the form is not submitted. If I then _manually_ hit enter in this text box, the form is submitted. So my idea was to simulate hitting enter for this text box to make it submit the form. I hope it's now clear.

P.S. I have just checked and it works not only for enter, but for any key. So I'm sure it just handles keyup event and if 4 chars are entered, it submits the form. Do you guys have any ideas? :?:

You'll be able to use WINCLICK when they fix the bug.

WINCLICK X=130 Y=434 CONTENT={ENTER}

will simulate an enter. Unfortunately, there's a bug that stops the user from keying in anything after a pause at that point.

Thanks.
I tried using DS CMD=KEY and it worked for one text box. But below I had another text box and DS failed to fill the second one. Is it also a known bug?

Did they announce about new release or update already? When the fixed version will be available?
