Re: How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

For the Keys method, try 

 

Keys('[Hold]~^x[Release]')  See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-sys-deskto...

Why automate?  I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy.  Sleep is a requirement.  So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.

Re: How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

Hi,

 

Have you read https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-sys-deskto... and https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-objects/simulating/keystrokes.html help topics and tried what is suggested there? Doesn't it work?

Specifically, I mean [Hold] constant and .KeyDown()/.KeyUp() methods of Desktop and LLPlayer objects.

Re: How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

Yes, I did. As I mentioned, I’m trying .keys(“-^x”), which is not working. Is there an alternate suggestion?

Re: How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

The alternate suggestion was given... using the LLPlayer or other objects, send keydown, keyup, etc., commands.

Re: How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

So... I guess the question is... what's not working?  What behavior are you NOT seeing that you want to see? What errors, if any, are you getting?

Im not getting any errors.

In my application, when i press ctrl alt x, it is supposed to bypass captcha, which is not happening
