Hi Alex,

 

Thanks for replying. I am not using any special characters while entering the text. Even then "Keys" method skips a single or couple of characters while entering a long text (e.g an email address like "testaccountDDMMYYYYHHMMSS@yopmail.com") in a MS dynamic control. Type of My dynamic control is 'Edit("email")'.

 

Thanks,

Jitender Rawat

Hi Jitender,

 

Try adding Key pressing delay, say 200ms in Playback Properties and see if it helps.

    Or check the contents after the key action and if it is not what you expect, try again (up to a few times). Our tests use this kind of hiccup prevention and that greatly decreased then number of false positives (or false negatives, whatever you call an error which was actually not an error)
