Reading from Client Access Window

[mcoupal]

I am interested in having VFP 6 to "type" data into a client access terminal session. To do this, it would have to be able to read certain lines to verify the correct screen is being displayed and whether the terminal is locked due to an inappropriate key being pressed.

Any suggestions?

Some client access terminal applications have an OLE (or even DDE) interface that allows you to query characters at a certain position and to send key strokes. If yours has such a capability, then that's your best bet.

Alternatively, you might want to look at the SendKeys function the vbscript.

Cheers,

Andrew
