Ranorex 6.2 Keyboard.Press(Keys

[SanMan]

Hi,

I have this code (a lot) in my solution.

Report.Info("Key 'Return' Press.");
Keyboard.Press(Keys.Return, 28, Keyboard.DefaultKeyPressTime, 1, false);

Now I updated to 6.2 and cannot build solution:

The name 'Keys' does not exist in the current context(CS0103)

What could be the problem and how to fix it?

Hi,

You need to add keyword WinForms. in front of Keys keyword, like this:

Code: Select all

Keyboard.Press(WinForms.Keys.Return, 28, Keyboard.DefaultKeyPressTime, 1, false);

Hi SanMan,

In order to get this working again, just delete the "Winforms" in the using directive like in the following screenshots.

Change this:

To this:

You could also use the namespace directly in the keyboard.press method like in the screenshot below.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi asdf,

I'm afraid, that's not exactly correct solution. Using WinForms is forced from 6.2 and any reference of using System.Windows.Forms; is automatically deleted from UserCode.cs files. Please see the Breaking Changes section of Ranorex 6.2 Release notes.
