    Hi HKTCentrix, since none of the suggestions helped, I am assuming your situation might require deeper investigation from our side.

    Please contact the SmartBear Support Team and describe the issue you are facing in detail. Thank you!

I have tried using the timer

start_time = time.time()
while (time.time() - start_time < hold_time) :
         self.search_bar.Keys('[Down]')
############################

Also, have tried this suggested somewhere in the forum:

self.search_bar.SetFocus()
self.search_bar.Keys('[Down]')
Sys.Desktop.KeyDown(Win32API.VK_CONTROL);
Delay(50000);
Sys.Desktop.KeyUp(Win32API.VK_CONTROL); 

Nothing has worked!

      LLPlayer Object does not work for me.

       

      sDelay = 20000
      self.search_bar.SetFocus()
      self.search_bar.Keys('[Down]')
      LLPlayer.KeyDown(VK_DOWN, sDelay); # (1)
      self.search_bar.Keys('[Down]')
      LLPlayer.KeyUp(VK_DOWN, sDelay); # (2)

      Thrown in several lines of codes, with different orders of lines, and none of them make any difference.

      All I got is " Waiting for a delay between low-level events" when line 1 and 2 got hit
