EditBoxFunctions::SetTextCharacters
DRD RC RJ WR TC SE SE2

Set the text of the editbox

This action sets the text of the editbox. It verifies we can read the property, sets the text value and then verifies that the property has been set to that value. This routine uses only the literal text provided. It does not attempt to convert or interpret the text provided as special characters. To do that, see the SetTextValue command.

Fields: [ ]=Optional with Default Value
  1. [ TextValue = ]
    The text that will be typed into the EditBox.

    TextValue will be the text that will be typed into the Editbox. Quoted text may be used to ensure proper expected value retrieval. There is also no check for a missing field because that would be the same as specifying no text ("")--which is valid.

Examples:
  • T, WINDOW, EditBox, SETTEXTCHARACTERS, "MyPassword"
    "MyPassword" is typed into the Editbox. Note: NO special character processing occurs. Literal text is sent unmodified.

EditBoxFunctions::SetTextValue
RC RJ WR TC SE SE2 DRD AUT

Set the text of the editbox

This action sets the text of the editbox. This version allows the use of special character combinations and substrings to identify specific keyboard keys. These are the same special characters and interpretation used for Robot's InputKeys command and the Windows Scripting Host.

~^+%{( are primarily the characters that induce special processing.

The routine verifies we can read the text property, sets the text value and will verify that the property has been set to that value *IF* none of the special characters exist in the provided text value. If those special characters exist, then no post-set verification will occur.

If you do not want to have any characters converted or interpretted as special characters then you need to use the SetTextCharacters command.



Fields: [ ]=Optional with Default Value
  1. [ TextValue = ]
    The text that will be typed into the EditBox and verified.

    TextValue will be the text that will be typed into the Editbox. Quoted text may be used to ensure proper expected value retrieval. There is also no check for a missing field because that would be the same as specifying no text ("")--which is valid.
