    Yes... where you would use "SetText", simply use "Keys".  SetText is a method that is associated with certain components that have a read/write Text or wText property.  If those properties don't exist, TestComplete doesn't include the "SetText" method.  Keys basically simulates sending keystrokes to the control.
