convert .Click to <enter>

[Bsmith]

Code:

Browser("Lawson portal").Page("Lawson portal").WebEdit("WebEdit").Click

This is not firing correctly. The Click is not really correct for this action, how can I convert this into an <enter> command. I tried changing .Click to .Submit, but that didn't work

What about webedit().set "" ? Does that not help? If you are adamant on using keyboard simulation then you may want to read about devicereplay and Sendkeys.
Oh..i almost forgot. Would you try the below code and see if that works?

Code:

Settings.webpackage("Replaytype") = 2
Browser("Lawson portal").Page("Lawson portal").Webedit("webedit").click
Settings.webpackage("Replaytype") = 1

So far, neither of those ideas is working. I get an error trying the replaytype and the .Set "" just sits there. Can I input a pause? As weird as that sounds, I think it's blowing over the input and the cursor needs to be in the input box for it to work. There is not 'submit' button to map to.

Thanks

Use "Set" instead of "Click":

Code:

Browser("Lawson portal").Page("Lawson portal").Webedit("webedit").Set "some text to enter in the  edit box"

My bad,
Please try this,

Code:

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2
Browser("Lawson portal").Page("Lawson portal").Webedit("webedit").click
Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 1

>>>the cursor needs to be in the input box for it to work.

There is a QTP setting for that.Tools->Options->Windows Applications->Advanced->Run Settings->Edit Box->Click edit box before inserting text

Maybe that will help?

Still no joy. I think the only way this will work is using SendKey of the enter key. Can I script that and then call it in a QTP action? if so, how would I do that?

[basanth27]

But it wasnt windows app..was it?

[Bsmith]

Success!
Had to use SendKeys:

Code:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
