    You could try using the SetText() method.  Or perhaps there is an object-specific method that may apply.  Inspect the object to determine that.

     

    Simulating Keystrokes in Browsers

     

    Also, try recording a simple test where you type in to that console.  What method does TestComplete use?  Play it back.  Does it work?

     

    If not, investigate whether recording/using Low-Level Procedures will work.  Perhaps you need to supply KeyDown and KeyUp events.

For Desktop, I'm not sure that sending text to the PowerOff button is going to do what you want...

 

Desktop:

Aliases.VpxClient.FormConsole.mVMToolbar.PowerOffButton.Keys("[NumLock]");

 

Regardless, I don't have any other ideas.  From "VPXClient" and "VM" I can only guess that you're using Citrix VPX to talk to some VM console running an application.  If so, while you should be able to control the console, you would have only limited control over the application running on the VM.

 

If there are no useful suggestions from the forum universe, open a support case.
