Keyboard.Press Method

Post by sunitha » Wed May 27, 2009 2:23 pm

I need to press Ctrl+PgDwn, the code i used is Keyboard.Press("^{PGDN}");
I'm getting an error saying "Unable to process the expression"

Can you suggest how to press the Ctrl+PgDn Key Event :)

Code: Select all

Keyboard.Press("{ControlKey down}{PageDown}{ControlKey up}");

You can try this also.. but it is lengthy code.

Code: Select all

Keyboard.Down(Keys.ControlKey);
Keyboard.Down(Keys.PageDown);
Keyboard.Up(Keys.PageDown);
Keyboard.Up(Keys.ControlKey);
The following approach is sounds good

Code: Select all

Keyboard.Press("{ControlKey down}{PageDown}{ControlKey up}");
