Excel for OS/2: SEND.KEYS to OS/2 Window Duplicates Keys PSS ID Number: Q67579 Article last modified on 06-23-1993 PSS database name: W_eXceL

OS/2

Summary:

The keys sent to an OS/2 window from Microsoft Excel for OS/2 will be duplicated as if each key was sent twice in succession. For example, the following statement

=SEND.KEYS(“DIR”)

will result in “DDIIRR”, without the quotation marks being received. The DIR command would ordinarily give a listing of the files in the current directory.

This is expected to occur. Excel is designed to send keystrokes to Presentation Manager (PM) applications only.
