sendNativeEvent

sendNativeEvent(windowName, sequence)

This function sends a sequence of low-level native events to the window called windowName. This function may be useful when interacting with windows from another application or with widgets implemented with a foreign toolkit. For interaction with standard application widgets it is best to use the functions in Squish's API such as the type(objectOrName, text) function.

Here's an example of use that is legal in JavaScript, Python, Perl, and Ruby:

sendNativeEvent("Login", "username");

At present, the only supported types of event are simple keystrokes. Support for complex keystrokes and for mouse events might be added in a future version. Please contact technical support if this is an important requirement for you.
