how to input text after surface automation being connected to VM

[HongJooChoi]

Hi, all. 

I used surface automation to recognize the input box of an application after having remotely connected to the VM.

I want to put a text into the red box. but when I use Navigate stage I couldn't find a way forward. No "Global Send Keys" function appeared in the navigate stage. Is there any way to fill the box?

Best regards

Hi HongJoo - use the VM 'root' element (or maybe your 'windows_frame2' element) for sending keys. You may need to focus the field by clicking into 'inp_password' first, with a small pause (maybe 0,5s) before sending the keys.

Hi!

Just one suggestion... if you want to connect to the SQL Server to execute query o maintenance plans, you can do it with the Business Object "Data - Sql Server". I think is faster than spy the entry application.

Dear Pablo

Thank you much for the reply.
I wanted to test how far surface automation will work for applications running on the VM.


Best regards
