5.1.2.1. Enter Text (General Components)

Input Text on Text Component

This action is unsupported for combo-boxes in the HTML toolkit

Input Text where focus is (on Application component)

In HTML AUT's , this action can only be used with alphanumeric characters. Also, if the focus is not currently on the browser, then this action will not be successful.

Replace Text

This action is unsupported for combo-boxes in the HTML toolkit

If you use this action on a table, then the text will be entered into the currently selected cell.

Press Any Key

Under Swing, this action only supports the American character set. Under SWT, you can use any character set under Windows, but there are some problems with non-American characters under Linux.

In HTML, on Firefox, the keys »F5« and »ESCAPE« cannot be used.

Users working on Linux systems should increase the key repeat delay on their test system or remove it completely. Some Linux systems can otherwise tend to repeat key presses which can lead to undesired actions being produced during test execution.

External Input Text

Native dialogs in SWT and RCP AUT's

In SWT and RCP AUT's , this action can only enter ASCII characters (large and small letters, and numbers).

To enter characters such as spaces, periods and slashes, use the action External Key Combination.

We recommend using the action Copy to Clipboard to help fill out native dialogs in SWT and RCP AUT's . The string you copy to the clipboard can then simply be entered into the textfield in the dialog using »CTRL+V« as an External Key Combination action.

External Press Any Key

Set Toggle Key

Due to current Java limitations, this action is not supported when testing under Linux. This means that any Test Step containing this action will fail when testing under Linux.
