Function Keys not working (General questions)

Dear Sir,

I am currently working with your evaluation software to automate a number of our task in Unix etc and am currently doing a Proof of Concept before purchase. However I have hit a problem with Function Keys. Using MS Telnet I can use the Function keys no problems with vt100. Using your OCX I have to send an ESC OP for F1 and Esc OQ for F2 however I cannot get F6 or F8 to work using this standard. Can you shed any light as it does everything we want but this is a major stumbling block.

I have tried the send special but this does not work and just shows the keystrokes on an input field.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi.

At quick look at, for example, here

I see that sending ESC+OU should send F6. Can you try that out?

I had already tried that as I stated I cannot get F6 or F8 to work using this standard however F1-F4 works without any Problems. The wierd ting I suppose is MS telnet with NT and XP work witthe function keys as standard, but the OCX isn't.

Hi Lee,


You can try to send it on this way if you alredy didn't try it.

For F6
wodSSH1.Send (Chr$(27) + Ou )

and for F8
wodSSH1.Send (Chr$(27) + Ow )

Hope I helped.

Lee,

any chance we could connect there? I'd like to check it out, and maybe do some sniffing on what does MS telnet send?

If you use telnet protocol, you could do a packet capture and send it to me, I'd like to check it out.

But it *must* be one of choices from above URL IMO.
