Pass keys in Selenium Tests

Hi all,

Here is the simple way to pass any KeyBoard keys to selenium. You can use below methods for your required purpose.

sel.keyDownNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT + ""); //To keep pressing a key
sel.keyPressNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_F1 + ""); //To just type a key
sel.keyUpNative(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT + ""); //To Release a key being in pressed state

For WebDriver instance, just pass using

driver.sendKeys()

Its better to have a code snippet in our framework to change this zoom setting right? Here we go... 1. We can simply change the Registry values before Invoking IE Function ChangeRegistry Dim objShell Set objShell = CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell" ) objShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom\ZoomFactor" , "100000" , "REG_DWORD" Set objShell = Nothing End Function This option is very useful.
