Visual FoxPro 9 Grid: how to simulate down arrow with a barcode reader - datagrid

I have a grid in Visual FoxPro where my customer will use an Motorola CS3000 SERIES
Barcode Reader. The problem is the grid, if you simulate the Enter key (CHR(13)), is going to the next field on the same row and not make a new line.
The only way is to press the down arrow (which it seems impossible), and already tried with Vertical Tab, with Line Feed / carriage return, and with ALT+025 (Down Arrow character) with no luck.
Do you have idea?
Thank you.

I understand than the Barcode reader simulate an Enter but not a keyboard command (DNARROW), isn't it?
So that the solution should be picking the key pressed from the form, I thing there is s "keypress" form event, in that event you can put the code for skipping to the next record.

LabVIEW: view every time a button is pressed

I’m trying to make a simple project to practice with LabVIEW:
I’m creating a VI with a standard Button and a stop button.
When the VI is running, I’ clicking the button many times and then, when I click on STOP, I would visualize on Front Panel a “List” (I’m using an array for this) which contain a timestamp for every button pression.
Is it possible? How can I do this?
I’m trying to create an array with the “insert into array” element, but it doesn’t seem to work..
Thank you all guys!
This does what you request. Two frames of the event structure and an autoindexing array collecting only the timestamps from the OK button press frames.

How to clear a text field using Robot Framework?

I'm using the Sikuli Library with Robot Framework to run tests for a local windows application. Most solutions online are selenium based but I believe that only to work for web applications.
Entering text has been fine for the empty fields when there isn't a default value concerned.
Currently, I'm dealing with a field that contains a default value of 5000 but I need to change it to 10.
Text Field:
So far I've tried things such as:
Double-clicking the field first to highlight then type over (Input Text single clicks and removes highlight anyway)
Single-Clicking as Input text single clicks itself (Does not happen fast enough to simulate a double click)
I will answer in Sikuli terms. You just execute Ctrl+a to select content of the cell and then type 10
type('a', KeyModifier.CTRL)
type('10)

Xamarin.Forms Entry reading from barcode reader with enter key gives empty result

I have a problem that is happening in Xamarin Forms UWP and perhaps also will happen in Android and iOS.
I have on XAML side a entry text field called for example textEntry.
I have on code side the definition textEntry.Completed += textEntry_Completed
on my textEntry_Completed I should have the content of the textEntry.Text.
When I write via keyboard something and press return, on the textEntry_Completed I get the textEntry.Text value correctly.
When I use a barcode scanner with keyboard emulation that after reading is also appending a return code, I get a textEntry.Text empty string inside the textEntry_Completed.
How can I solve this situation ?
Thanks,
Paulo

Any keyboard shortcut to display Xcode's "Show Find Options"?

Xcode offers several key codes to open the Find (CMD-F) or Find and Replace (CMD-OPT-F) editor toolbar, but how can I get the Find Options to show without having to move my mouse over the magnifying glass and clicking (which takes forever, I misclick, and then have to select the menu item - ugh)?
I have not found a single key to do this, but just discovered that after using
CMD-F
or
CMD-OPT-F
that the Find search field has focus, and by tapping the
down arrow key
twice followed by a
Return key, that it opened (do again to close)!
I added a key code sequence to Butler so I can use a single key to do this, so use your favorite Macro program to do likewise.
EDIT: Just discovered this still works in Xcode 7, you just need to do 2 down-arrows followed by a return.

How to enter values to a text field using monkeyrunner

I am trying to enter some text to a text field in my android application using Monkeyrunner.
I wrote the code like this:
device.press('KEYCODE_BUTTON_SELECT',MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)
device.press('KEYCODE_U','DOWN_AND_UP')
device.press('KEYCODE_S','DOWN_AND_UP')
device.press('KEYCODE_E','DOWN_AND_UP')
device.press('KEYCODE_R','DOWN_AND_UP')
while running the first line,the text field is getting selected.But The string "user" is not typing there.But the same code i can run out of my application ,In the android native search field i can enter "user" string using this code. I tried the same with device.type('USER') command also.That is also not working
If i am using this code
device.press ('KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER', MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)
It is taping one center button. (In my application page one button is there in the middle of the page.)
Try the following code. It's working in my case:
device.touch(x, y, MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)
MonkeyRunner.sleep(1)
device.type('USER')
In the command touch put the coordinates of your edittext instead of x and y
One of the challenges would be to find the coordinates to touch, mainly using different screen sizes and configurations.
AndroidViewClient can help in this respect and you can avoid having to provide the coordinates for the Views and you can simply do:
subject = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise('id/subject')
subject.touch()
subject.type('AVCSample')
this lines were taken from one of the AVC examples: email-send.py
Do you have space character as part of the text you're trying to enter? Try without space and see if that works. Then, you can figure out how to deal with space.
