Editing a text input
You can edit text inputs to replace a sequence of keyboard
events with text strings that are easier to handle as datapool variables
or references.
Before you begin
Text inputs describe a series of low-level keyboard events as a single text string. Text inputs can be added only inside window events.
In most cases, you will rely on the text inputs that were recorded with the test. The recording attempts to factor multiple key presses into text input events. However, in some cases, you might need to manually factor keyboard events that are redundant or poorly recorded. For example, in some cases, a text input string Hello can be recorded as a press on the Shift key, a stroke of the H key, a release of the Shift key, a stroke of the E key, and finally a text input of llo. By manually factoring keyboard actions into text inputs, you can handle text from datapool variables and references.
Note: Because Citrix tests contain
low level user input and synchronizations, minor changes can prevent
the test from working. When editing these tests, you must ensure that
they are functionally identical.
