Re: Using Test Engine Rest API

Short answer: Keys() simulates real keyboard input, while SetText() directly sets the control’s text. Because of this, Keys() requires an active, focused window and an interactive desktop session—conditions that are often not met when using the Test Engine REST API.

    I have an active, focused window and interactive desktop. I am able to use the Click method that would also require an active window.
