Clear text before doing Send Keys

Nice one, Hagai.

I've got one in JScript I use before sending keys to a text object. Pass in whatever property you want to search for the text field with (I usually use Name, frequently with wildcards), the parameter, and the process. It also has to be a visible object.

function ClearTextObject(ByProperty, Parameter, ProcessName)
{
var PropArray, ValuesArray, Process, Target;
var Depth = 5;
  
PropArray = new Array(ByProperty, "Visible");
ValuesArray = new Array(Parameter, true);

Process = Sys.Process(ProcessName);
Target = Process.FindChild(PropArray, ValuesArray, Depth);

try
{
  if (Target.Exists)
  {
    var Text = Target.Text;
    var Length = Text.length;
    
    Target.Click();
    Target.Keys("[End]");
    
    Indicator.PushText("Backspacing the text away.");
    for (i = 0; i < Length; i++)
    {
      Target.Keys("[BS]");
    }
    Indicator.PopText();
  }
  else
    Log.Error("The object was not found.");
}
    
catch (err)
 {
  Log.Error(err.description)
 }
}

Hi,

It's always better to use Keys method instead of SetText

You can Try with the following

Object.Keys("[End]![Home][Del]"+Project.Variables.XXX); or Object.Keys("[Home]![End][Del]"+Project.Variables.XXX);

Also Goto Project Properties -> Playback, There is one textbox available "Key Pressing Delay, MS" You can use 50ms or 25ms instead of 0

It may helpful :)

Thanks,

Kamal
