Sending F-Keys to server - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

Linear

I am testing the ssh product connecting to remote control a server app. All is well and I can send key strokes and get responses.

The issue at hand is I need to send some F keys to trigger the host menus. The first one I need to hit is F10.

Can someone please help me with the send command to accomplish this.

Thanks.

Sample connect code:

Dim WithEvents oSSH As WeOnlyDo.Client.SSH

Sub Main()
Dim sKey As String =

oSSH = New WeOnlyDo.Client.SSH

'Set login params
With oSSH
.Login = superman
.Password = strongpassword
.Encryption = Client.SSH.EncryptionMethods.Auto
.Protocol = Client.SSH.SupportedProtocols.SSHAuto
.StripANSI = True
.TerminalType = vt100
.Connect( 10.25.13.29 )
End With

Hi Bill,

You can send an F10 sequence by using a code similiar to this:

[code]Ssh1.Send(Chr(27) & [21~ )[/code]

This will send the F10 key to the server. However, please note that this line possibly won't work with TerminalType set to vt100 . If this happens, you should set TerminalType to linux .

Hope this helps.

So close and yet so far.

The code you put works, thanks again.

I figured for the next step where I had to push in F2 and F4, I could just walk the number down from 21 and be ok.

That doesn't seem to work in xterm or vt100.

Is there something special about the lower end F-keys?

Thanks.

Bill,

Can you please try this:

F1
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OP )

F2
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OQ )

F3
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OR )

F4
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OS )

F5
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OT )

F6
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OU )

F7
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OV )

F8
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OW )

F9
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OX )

F11
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + OZ )

F12
ssh1.Send (Chr(27) + O[ )

Did you figure that later I was going to ask for the other keys? [:smile:]

This worked. I'll have to wrap my brain around why but at least I can continue with my proof of concept.

The tool works great so far but I'm sold on the support alone already.

Thanks for the help!

It was no small factor, however, that your support in getting me up and running made me buy from you.
