Global Send Key Events

[AmithRajagopal]

Hi All,    I am using {CTRL}c as part of my process , its wrorking perfectly as expected but some times i am getting a message from another application involved in the same automation process stating "CTRL key is still pressed".  I am releasing my CTRL key by giving >{CTRL} but its not actually getting released. Am i doing it wrongly ..    Can anyone please help in this ?     Warm regards. Amith

Is it possible that the flow is happening too quickly and the other application sees that the CTRL key is still pressed down when that application is selected? How soon after doing CTRL+A / CTRL+C does the other application get used?

Thanks David. How soon after doing CTRL+A / CTRL+C does the other application get used? --- immediately .   Actually  I found the issue , it might be that I haven't put an arbitrary wait after each navigate stage. I am using v5 so we have to put manual wait .   Regards, Amith

Is there any way to find if CTRL key is pressed or not!   I am getting this issue frequesnlty even after releasing the ctrl key press

Looks like there's a way to do this in C#. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.input.keyboa…

I have used a code stage and found if ctrl key is pressed and if its pressed , I will use a navigate stage with release(ie. >{CTRL}),.It worked  fine in DEV  and QA ,but in UAT its failing.   I am giving 0.5 s delay after ""{CTRL}"" key presses. Can anyone tell whats the issue? Regards, Amith
