How to send keys to a web page textbox using Send keys.
I want to write a String variable into a webpage textbox, character by character. To do this I am thinking to use Sendkeys method. But I don't know where the method is available. Can anyone help me in this?

While interrogating uncheck "create global webpage" check box and then interrogate. You would see frame control for the text box.

The SendKeys method is available on the frame level control. In automation, you will need to first focus on the textbox then send keys to the frame control.
This PDN post also explains the process:

Can you explain what is frame level control? I tried with all the parent element of my Textbox (1_SyCode_Txt in my case). I have uploaded the object explorer screenshot of my project.
