Sending non-Latin characters using SendKeys

[andylee]

Hi,

I have performed the following test using non-Latin characters but I'm not getting the correct characters to appear correctly in the edit box for Notepad

string text = "воздушной";
Ranorex.Form notepad =
Ranorex.Application.StartWindowsApplication("C:\\Windows\\system32\\no tepad.exe", "");
Ranorex.Application.Sleep(1000);
Ranorex.Control editBox = notepad.FindClassName("Edit");
editBox.SendKeys(text);

Sending "воздушной" results in "?????????" being received.

Is there a workaround if Unicode support is not available?

Cheers,
Andy

The easiest workaround is using the System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait(string) method instead of the Ranorex.Control.SendKeys method. You just need to assure that the notepad application is activated and the editBox is focused:
