Type Method
Description

Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Text |
Required. A String value. For additional supported keyboard presses, see PressKey method. |
Return Type
None.
IMPORTANT
This method is not recorded. (Keyboard operations are recorded using the Set or PressKey methods.) The Type method is useful for entering a combination of text and keyboard modifiers. 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.
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"
