Keypress for going backward and forward in browser

[Haydar Can GüngörParticipant]

Hello,

I try to go backward and forward in the browser with these short commands in my script:
zap.Keyboard.KeyDown zap.Keys.Alt
zap.Keyboard.KeyPress(37) ‘Backward
zap.Keyboard.KeyUp zap.Keys.Alt

zap.Keyboard.KeyDown zap.Keys.Alt
zap.Keyboard.KeyPress(39) ‘Forward
zap.Keyboard.KeyUp zap.Keys.Alt

if i press “ALT” + “Left Cursor arrow” or “ALT” + “Right Cursor arrow” it works.
But if i use this Code in my Script it does nothing… Do i have a logical mistake in my Code or what is here the Problem?

Best Regards
Guengoha

Hello Guengoha,

Your code is correct.
Please make sure the browser window is in focus when you execute these steps.
1. Activate Window property of your application object must be TRUE.
2. Include step to check for an object in the browser page first (this will bring your browser window in focus).

Hello Sergey,

i checked both of them but it still doesn’t work for me.. i don’t get any errors it just don’t go backward..

in the screenshot below you can see that the refresh and the backward step “worked” but it’s only the refresh step which worked for me.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Hello Guengoha,
1. The KEY steps always report passed status.
2. In step 17 it looks like ZAPTEST finds “Login” object on the Homepage. You need to use an object that belongs to Login page only.

Hello,

i still don’t have a solution for this problem. I tested some things out and now do i think that the “ALT”-Key from my Zaptest script doesn’t work. It propably doesn’t Press the Alt-Key like i press it manually on my Keyboard. Do you have any Solutions for this problem?

i already checked that Zaptest has the focus on my Browser but it didn’t helped..

Hello Guengoha,

Hello Guengoha,
Please run the attached test and post results file.

Hello SergeyP,

Okay i think the problem here is, that Zaptest presses Alt Gr instead of the Alt Key.

Do you know how to change this? because Alt gr and Alt is both with key number 18..
