How to enter text in the windows 10 search bar?

Hi,

 

I want to enter text in the search bar (windows 10), but whatever i tried failed. Even when recording a new script, the action of typing the text is not caught. When using the object spy, the object is not seen...

Any help welcome :)

 

Thanks

    Sys.Desktop.Keys("[Win]SomeKeysToTypeIntoSearch");

    Hope this helps.

    Yes it works! Thanks!

    but very slow... i'm using the same .Keys() function in other places, the typing is pretty fast. Do you have an idea why?

      This was somewhat slow on my PC as well. It seems to be a performance issue with TestComplete.
