Hello,
I want to implement the process of sending keystrokes to another window application in Eprime. So use the SendKeys function of the E-basic document. So I insert script in Inline with
"

AppActivate 56108
SendKeys "A"

"

However, when I run the Eprime program, I always get the error "Command failed". So I want to know how to solve this problem?

  Indeed, I also cannot get either SendKeys or DoKeys to work using EP2 on my Windows 7 machine. In particular, I tried the following:

  Dim appID
  appID = Shell("Notepad.exe", ebNormalFocus)
  AppActivate appID, True
  SendKeys "Hello, Notepad."

  and got "Command failed" at the SendKeys line. Likewise, I tried

  Dim appID
  appID = Shell("Notepad.exe", ebNormalFocus)
  AppActivate appID, True
  DoKeys "Hello, Notepad."

  and this time got "Unsupported function or statement".

  Just for fun I then tried the following from E-Run in EP1:

  Sub Main()
      Dim appID
      appID = Shell("Notepad.exe", ebNormalFocus)
      AppActivate appID, True
      SendKeys "Hello, Notepad."
  End Sub

  In this case I got "Can't find window" at the AppActivate line.

  You should submit this to PST Support, and then write back here with their response.
