Hi Steve,


The "^a" string means the CTRL+A standard Windows shortcut for selecting all the contents of the needed text control.


So, when the script calls the ["Keys"]("^a05/30/2007") method, TestComplete selects all the contents of the oEditOrderGrid["WPFObject"]("TextBox", "", 1) control and then enters 05/30/2007 to this control.


For more information, please refer to the Keys Method help topic.
