Many Thanks, James Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:01:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Global-sendkeys-for-SPACE-BAR/m-p/47022#M2864 jgreaves2 2016-03-15T15:01:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Global-sendkeys-for-SPACE-BAR/m-p/47023#M2865 Hi James, I tried using ""{SPACE}"" but this will not work for both 'Global Send Keys' and 'Send key Event'. I just want to filter data in excel where I want to select some data, so trying to achieve this using Space bar to check the checkboxes there.

Thanks, Tue, 15 Mar 2016 16:59:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Global-sendkeys-for-SPACE-BAR/m-p/47025#M2867 jgreaves2 2016-03-15T16:59:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Global-sendkeys-for-SPACE-BAR/m-p/47026#M2868 Hi James, I haven't created any, but using surface automation we can work with Excel by interacting with the menu items there. but here we cannot access the rows and columns actually,but selecting would be possible using send keys.

If you are trying to use the Space Bar as some kind of control key (i.e. to press a button) it probably will not be possible - because when using Send Keys or Send Key Events you are sending characters to the entire appliction rather than individual elements (which is why the element needs to be active first). The best way to press a button is by sending a global click rather than a space.
