How to simulate ctrl alt x in a web application

[Mathit]

Im trying to set .keys("~^x")

This doesnt seem to work.  Is there an alternate suggestion

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.

[Mathit]

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

[tristaanogre]

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

[Mathit]

yes, i tried that as well.  below is my code for ctrl Alt r

Sub Testing123
Call LLPlayer.KeyDown(VK_CONTROL, 2000) ' Presses Control
Call LLPlayer.KeyDown(VK_MENU, 2000) ' Presses Alt
Call LLPlayer.KeyDown(82, 2000) ' Presses r 
Call LLPlayer.KeyUp(VK_CONTROL, 1000)
Call LLPlayer.KeyUp(VK_MENU,1000)
Call LLPlayer.KeyUp(82,1000)
End Sub

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?

[Mathit]

Im not getting any errors.

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

For the Keys method, try 

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

Thank you HOLD and Release worked for multiple keys worked.
