Hi,

I am looking for some sort of a list that contains all the keystrokes in NAV. By Keystrokes I mean automated e.g.

By running the following code you automatically close NAV :


CREATE(lvWinShell);
lvWinShell.SendKeys('%{F4}');

% = Crtl

I am looking for the "ALT" Keystroke particularly.

Thank you in advance.

    Hi gideon,

    Funny I have the same query today and found it through reading a lot of posts.

    Actually % = Alt - i.e. Alt F4 for close

    ^ = Ctrl

    Hope this helps

    Shift -> +
    Ctrl -> ^
    ALT -> %

    Backspace -> {BACKSPACE}, {BS} oder {BKSP}
    Break -> {BREAK}
    Caps -> {CAPSLOCK}
    Del -> {DELETE} oder {DEL}
    Down Arrow, Up Arrow -> {DOWN}, {UP}
    Left Arrow, Right Arrow -> {LEFT}, {RIGHT}
    End -> {END}
    Enter -> {ENTER} or ~
    ESC -> {ESC}
    Help -> {HELP}
    Pos1 -> {HOME}
    INS -> {INSERT} or {INS}
    NUMLOCK -> {NUMLOCK}
    Page up / Down -> {PGUP}, {PGDN}
    Scroll -> {SCROLLLOCK}
    TAB -> {TAB}
    F1, F2, ... F16 -> {F1}, {F2}, ... {F16}
    10x h -> {h 10}
    +(EC) -> Big E and Big C
    +EC -> Big E small c

    The Key PRINT ({PRTSC}) can not be used with SendKeys.

    To use the "Sendkey" function u must use following "Automation" variable:
    Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell

    example:
    IF ISCLEAR(WSHShell) THEN
  CREATE(WSHShell);

WSHShell.SendKeys('%xs');
WSHShell.SendKeys('{DOWN}');

    Off topic, but does that 'btnl=1' make it open the first search result?

    Yup, as if you'd hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button ( Button I )

    for example - we use it on the payment journal.
    on entry of the account number we have it automatically do a Shift-F9 to open the form to apply entries.
    saving a step.
    works great.

    plus a few other places

    I already saw it, I tried lvWinShell.SendKeys('^+{Q}'); lvWinShell.SendKeys('^(+({Q}))'); and some other combinations. Still not working... any suggestions?

    Edit: My bad, works properly, I missed the parameters in the CREATE method :oops:

    Hi, does anybody know which is the corresponding DotNet for Automation used to input keystrokes?
    Name   DataType   Subtype   Length
WSHShell   Automation   'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell

    I have some code to upgrade to 2013 but I'm not able to find the right subtype to use :oops:

    Thanks!
