Is it possible to perform something like a mouse click while SHIFT/CONTROL/ALT key is pressed?

I'm sorry, we have some undocumented features, but the answer is yes:

Code: Select all

form.SendKeys("{SHIFTDOWN}{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}");
Application.Sleep(100);
Mouse.Click(MouseButtonType.LeftButton);
form.SendKeys("{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}");

or

Code: Select all

Application.SendKeys("{SHIFTDOWN}{CTRLDOWN}{ALTDOWN}");
Application.Sleep(100);
Mouse.Click(MouseButtonType.LeftButton);
Application.SendKeys("{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}{ALTUP}");

Thanks for the help.

This seems the C code to me, I am using python. What I have tried in python is:

Code: Select all

   
app = R.FormGetActive()
    R.ControlSendKeys(app,"e")
    R.ControlSendKeys(app,"{SHIFTDOWN}")
    R.Sleep(1000)
    R.MouseClick(R.MOUSE_LEFT_BUTTON,1)

with

Code: Select all

import RanorexPython as R

However the "e" and mouseclick are received, but the SHIFTDOWN is not (also when i manually click afterward, any ideas?

You should use HWND=0 for the CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys:

Code: Select all

Ranorex.ControlSendKeys(textBox,'abc')
Ranorex.ControlSendKeys(0,'{SHIFTDOWN}')
Ranorex.ControlSendKeys(textBox,'efg')
Ranorex.ControlSendKeys(0,'{SHIFTUP}')
