Trouble Sending Keys to Textbox
Hi - I'm unable to sendkeys to a textbox within a web application. If I manually click the box, I can send them but if I do a perform click method on the text box, then send keys, it won't display those on the screen. I've tried a raise event onclick with no success. The window is a box that pops up over the existing web page. It also as text in the textbox to start. Not sure if this affects anything. Please help whenever possible

@MichaelM4236 What version of Pega Robotics are you using? The way we normally solve this is through the SendKeys method on the web control. I am not sure when it was made available, but it is certainly in more recent versions. In 22.1, you may now send many events at once in one block and testing is much easier. Let me know if SendKeys is available and works.

@MichaelM4236 Is this working for you? Also, your Pega version looks like 19.1. What is the build? You can find this on the Add/Remove programs dialog in Windows or from the Help menu in Studio.

@ThomasSasnett It is 19.1. Version says 10.0.14393 Build 14393. Send keys works in general - just not to this particular text box. Not sure if it's how I have it interrogated or what the issue is. When that window pops up, I can send keys to tab down to it and then send keys to the box; however, it won't send to the box directly without tabbing.

@MichaelM4236 The version is actually the number after 19.1 (in my case below it is 19.1.98). The latest is 19.1.132.
If SendKeys isn't working and also setting the text property isn't working, then it is likely you need to use the RaiseEvent method to send whatever JavaScript events the page is listening for. You can open a support request and they may be able to meet with you to see if they can determine how this page might need its data set.
