Browser("Java Examples").Page ("Java Examples")
.Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").SetCaretPos 0, 0
'Enter a sentence in the text box.
Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field ").Set "Set the edit text."

You concatenate text strings and keyboard modifiers using the ampersand (&) symbol. For example, you can enter: Type "Hello World" & micCtrl & "S"
To add this method to your test, use the Step Generator or enter it manually in the Keyword View or Editor. For more information, see the OpenText Functional Testing User Guide.
Note: Although the Type method is supported for most objects, if you enter a Type statement for an object in which a user cannot enter text, the method has no visual effect.
This method is not supported for JavaFX combo box and listview objects.
Example
Type Text in an Edit Box (VBScript)
'The following example uses the Type method to type ABC in a Java edit box.
Browser("Periodic").Page("Periodic").JavaApplet("Periodic").JavaEdit("Text").Type "ABC"
