Post by d_mak » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:50 pm

Suppose we open mstsc.exe using c++ with the help of ranorex.h
and now i want to automate it by entering ip of my own choice in my code..
and then it will click connect....
can it be possible to map keyboard events with the help of ranorex...??

Sorry, I do not exactly understand your question.
You can do the scenario you explained using Ranorex. Keyboard inputs can be simulated by using the Application.SendKeys method. But what do you mean by "map keyboard events"?

As I said before, you can automate keyboard events using Ranorex. The C++ function is called RxControlSendKeys. To simulate key events to the currently active application use NULL for the hWnd parameter.
