Foxtools Editor Support Functions

_EDSENDKEY

_EdSendKey() Simulates a key press in the editor session passed in <nWHANDL>.

VFP Syntax

= _EdSendKey(nWHAND, nAsciiValue)

Parameters

[in] nWHAND

Fox-window handle of the editor session in question. If nWHANDL is no valid editor-session handle, an error “API call caused an exception” (Error 2028) is raised.

[in] nAsciiValue

The ASCII value of the character to be sent as a key press.

Returns

VOID - no evaluable return value, coz always TRUE.

Remarks

The character is inserted at the current caret position. One can send control character values, too! Thus, sending a CR or Tab stop is possible as well.

VFP Example(s)

Opening an editor session, selecting a block of text:

*\\ Open editor session
nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.TXT", 1)
*\\ Send “Hello World!” to editor
? _EDSENDKEY(m.nWHAND, ASC("H"))
