Multple <tab>

[Inovate]

Is there a way to tab in Sessions multiplyed by a counter for example if the counter is 3 then I want to <tab> 3 times but I do not want to write the code as myscreen.sendkeys"<tab><tab><tab>". Any suggestions?

Your interested in the red bits

[COLOR=red]Declare Function MultiTab (NumberOfTabs As Integer) As String[/color]

Sub Main

    Dim sys as object
    Dim sess as object
    Dim myscreen as object

    Set MyScreen = CreateObject("EXTRA.System").ActiveSession.Screen
[COLOR=red]    MyScreen.Sendkeys MultiTab(5)[/color]

End Sub
[COLOR=red]
Function MultiTab(NumberOfTabs As Integer) As String
    For AllTabs = 0 to NumberOfTabs - 1
        sTabString = sTabString & "<tab>"
    Next
    MultiTab = sTabString
End Function[/color]

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

You'd be so much better off with:
sess0.screen.moveto (X,Y)
or
sess0.screen.putstring "My Text",X,Y

These functions won't incur the lag time of updating the screen showing the cursor at each tab.

sess0.screen.moveto (X,Y)
or
sess0.screen.putstring "My Text",X,Y

assuming x and y don't change

If you know it's always 3 tabs, it's unlikely the x,y would change. However, you can also use the Search Method for those occasions that you want to change position.
