    <description>Hi all. I€™ve got what is probably a rookie question around Send Keys that I€™m hoping someone can help with.

I€™m interacting with a List Box that contains around 100 items in. It is scrollable. I need to select multiple items within the table €“ I will know what these values are when I start the process (as input parameters). As a human, I would navigate to the box, select €˜Product 1€™ then hold shift and select €˜Product 2€™, then €˜Product 3€™ etc until I had selected all relevant products . A screenshot of what I€™m looking to do is below, lines blanked out but you can probably get the jist of it.

The issue I€™m having is with the structure that I need to use and whether I do this all within a single navigate stage or multiple. In addition, the values that I need to select will be contained within Data Items. I believe my structure will be something along the lines of ;


	Global Mouse Click Centre on Product 1
	Select Shift
	Global Mouse Click Centre on Product 2 etc


So the structure would look something like this €“ €œ+, [Product 1]€&amp;#157;, then click on [Product 2] etc. However when I run the process the products selected earlier don€™t remain highlighted.

Could someone please advise the best way to do this? Is Send Keys the best way?

Thanks

      <description>I would use space bar instead global mouse click. You probably can navigate with Arrows and Select items with Ctrl + "" "" (space bar). I thing something like this:
&amp;nbsp;
1- Set the focus on first element
2- Check if item must be selected
3- If affirmative, Send Global Keys ""^ "" (^ means control and the white space is like pressing space bar)
4- Send Global Keys ""{DOWN}""
5- Go step 2 and repeat until the end.
&amp;nbsp;
Hope it helps</description>

      <description>Hi Michael - try Global Send Key Events. It's the most basic keystroke option where you have to have specify up and down strokes, such as ""{SHIFT}ello"" for Hello. One of the pitfalls of GSKE is that you can 'glue down' a key if you get the syntax wrong, but in your case this might be an advantage. What you could try is&amp;nbsp;something like&amp;nbsp;1) shift down, 2) click, 3) click, 4) shift up. You'll need pauses between these steps - if you have v6 you will be able to put these in one Navigate and specify a small pause in between. Or, you could use multiple navigates with tiny wait stages in between. The pauses stop the object executing the steps too fast.</description>
