SendKeys to Edge browser
I'm trying to trigger the Edge browsers Control S (^S) functionality by using SendKeys. However in the object hierarchy i am unable to locate the object to which the Sendkey needs to be sent
This was done in IE11 by exposing the available windows in interrogation mode and then creating the control from the relevant Window option. However in Edge no Windows are available. Any help would be much appreciated

@RichardB3397 If you would like to SendKeys to the Windows Form containing the page, you may do so using the BrowserForm object (a property of the web page control). If using 19.1, you can select the web page control in Object Explorer and then click the Explore Component Properties button in the upper right of the Object Explorer window. From here, you can locate the BrowserForm property and grab the SendKeys method.
In 22.1, you can simply drag out the web page and from the "Select action" dialog, click "More". Locate the BrowserForm property and click the hyperlink. This takes you to its PMEs where you can grab the SendKeys method.

Thanks for the prompt response. I've posted a couple of JPG files below with the results from the NBS intranet homepage. For whatever reason the SendKey method is not available in the browser form property. Any suggestions please

@RichardB3397 The find window is for finding controls you've interrogated already. To add the SendKeys method, you need to click the "bookshelf" icon in the lower section and locate it in the pop-up window. Here is a screenshot with the order. Follow the arrows starting from the top.
