SendKeys (Method)

ISession::SendKeys

Send keystrokes to the QWS3270 session.

Function SendKeys(keys As String) As Long

Parameters

No	Name	Type	Optional	Default	Description
1	keys	String	No	-	String of keystrokes or control/function keys. A maximum of 255 bytes (including host function key codes) is allowed. The string must be NULL terminated.
Return Code			Description
JGS_OK			The keys were sent successfully
JGS_PARAMETERERROR			Missing or invalid parameter (string longer than 255 bytes)
JGS_NOTCONNECTED			You are not connected to a session. Call ISession::Connect first.
JGS_PSBUSY			The session is busy and not all of the keystrokes could be sent
JGS_INHIBITED			Input to the session is inhibited and keystrokes were rejected. A possible reason is that you tried to send invalid keystrokes. See the list of valid keystrokes.
JGS_SYSERROR			The function failed due to a system error

Remarks

You cannot send keystrokes to the Host session when the keyboard is locked or busy (input inhibited). You can check the keyboard status with TestForKbUnlocked function. It is also your responsibility to treat input-protected or numeric-only host fields appropriately.

Sample Code

Dim myString as String
Dim result as Long
myString = "Testing@E"
