How to simulate Left Ctrl key pressed?
Hello,
We need to keep Ctrl and Left-Ctrl key pressed in our application in order to open two dialogs which are using different technology.
Use this way for Ctrl key pressed
Sys.Desktop.KeyDown(VK_CONTROL); // Press Ctrl
//Open operation.
Sys.Desktop.KeyUp(VK_CONTROL); // Release Ctrl
Our engineers are using [X163] as Left-Ctrl key's virtual-key code. This virtual-ley code seems not to be supported in TestComplete.
Wonder whether this is the correct way using KeyDown and KeyUp. And how can we simulate the Left-Ctrl key pressed.
Thanks

- Hi Liping,
I believe that LLPlayer object (see TC help) with Win32API.VK_LCONTROL and Win32API.VK_RCONTROL constants should work for you.

My concern is that we can only press Ctrl key. Wonder how to simulate RightCtrl and LeftCtrl seperately.
Thanks again.
Liping - Thanks.
It works.Something like this--> (I do right click here)
grid.ClickR(((grid.ScreenLeft + grid.Width) / 2), ((grid.ScreenTop + grid.Height) / 2)) where Grid is your Object.
