RE: [Talk] Blocking and Deleting Text in a Windows Text Box

[Mitchell, Sherry]

I had a suggestion to change the code to:

 

    Key "{HOME}"
    SendKeys "+{END}", True
    SendKeys "{DELETE}", True

 

and it works great on its own --- it won't work stepping through  !!!  I didn't realize how slow the character by character really was!!!

 

thanx!!!,  sherry

I just had a similar problem where it turned out I was not waiting long enough (pause) to make sure I was in the particular field before sending those keys. Try putting in a long wait (3 seconds) if that takes care of the problem then replace it with the appropriate pause string.

 

Thanks,

I can't get the following to highlight the character string so that the delete will delete the whole string not just the first character  ...  (OS is Windows 2000/ Service Pack 4, latest BostonWorkStation 7.0  if that might make a difference!). 

 

Key "{HOME}"

Key "{+END}"

Key "{DELETE}"

 

I'm also wondering how, when using FileSystemObject code (which I had tremendous help in setting up!!!),  to get a count of the number of files in the folder ???

 

 

thanx in advance!!!,  sherry
