Issues with adding keystrokes to Type Into activity

[Hisuhong]

I am trying to upload data from excel onto a program, but when I do something like row(0).ToString+ “[k(tab)]”, it appends the “[k(tab)]” to the value of row(0)… so it gives me something like 450[k(tab)].

Also, in some parts I want to add 10 tabs before using the type into activity. How do I go about doing this?

Can you try unchecking simulate click in the type into activity property @Hisuhong?

Fine
kindly disable Simulate Type property in the property panel of TYPE INTO activity and enable Send window message property

that would work for sure
the reason when simulate type is enabled it wont take the hot keys passed along with the string while sendwindow message is there to use it instead

hope this would help you

@Hisuhong

Kindly disable Simulate type in Property Panel.
Refer this for second part

Send hotkey multiple times

I need to send tab 26 times. Is there a simple way to send tab more than once in a “send hothey” activity. Without needing to create a “send hotkey” activity for each tab? Thanks!

Thanks,

Have you tried row(0).ToString+ vbTab ?
