hi
i am trying to put some text on command Propmpt but the code is not coming when i am using the Record metod. do i require to make some settings

however i tried descriptive programming to activate the cmd window using Window("text:=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe").Activate then its not identifying it while playback (Verify that this object's properties match an object currently displayed in your application.)

i have used ActiveX and VB AddIns

I dont think, we can record the command window as this is a DOS window.
You can work on this using "wscript.shell"

Code:

set oCmd=createobject("WSCript.Shell")
oCmd.run "cmd /K Date"

There can be some other ways as well to handle this , depends on the requirement.

Code:

Set a = CreateObject("WScript.shell")
a.Run "cmd"
a.SendKeys "hello{ENTER}"
