How to Send Control Key dynamically in Uipath

[gouthamj]

Since there are multiple Get and Set operations in Terminal, i am trying to keep only one activity for get and set in the workflow and all the variables in a spreadsheet and pass only the values for Get and Set (like row, column, text to be found). I am trying to Send Control key also dynamically by using the Invoke Method (Uipath.Terminal.Activities.TerminalSendControlKey), but not sure what would be the method name to be used. Can someone help on this and also let me know if there is any other way to do this.

Hi @gouthamj, where you able to find an solution for this? I am also looking to pass a key that is missing in send control keys. Please let me know if you have any different approach for this kind of issue.

Thanks!

You should look into the new coded automation features. This example uses UiAutomation, but basically it’s a way to call the activities directly as code.

Coded Automation is here: Build bots with Real Code in UiPath!

It’s real! From today on you can use “real code” to build bots in UiPath with C# The best of all? If you’re running version 23.4 you already have access to “Coded Automation”. It’s part of the 23.4 release, though it has been released as a “hidden feature”. In the below video I show how to reveal Coded Automation in UiPath and we build your first bot together! Let me know: what do you think about Coded Automation? Are you planning to use it in your projects? […

Thanks for the information @postwick ! its good know about this functionality.

But seems like it is not available for the enterprise version of studio yet. And also we are stuck with only one part of the process where i need to send a contorlkey which is not available from sendcontrolkey. So I am looking for different ways to send the acutal key value to the terminal as send controlkey. Please let me know if there are any other ways to send the values to UiPath terminal session.

Thanks again!
