SENDKEY buttons instead of Keyboard Map?

Post by Dino »

Hi,

I am trying to avoid having to use the keyboard map for some screens as it uses too much real estate in a tablet/cellphone
and instead having some extra buttons in the screen, like "System Request" or "NewLine"

If I go per the keyboard map definition, doing a CTRL F2 should cause that effect, but how could you join a couple of keys in a send key?

something like will be my goal:

Code: Select all

SENDKEY("Ctrl+F2");

The solution of running aXes inside aXes Mobile App from Apple and Play Stores, makes good sense
to save real state in the screen and have a more clean look and feel..

Hi Dino

Ctrl-F2 is not a 5250 key press so it will not be handled by the aXes SENDKEY command.

Have a look at this page. It might get you there.
