posted February 23, 2004 3:02 PM I am using PowerTCP Telnet for visual basic .net to develop my application. In that, I am using Telnet1.Send method to send key strokes. I want to know how to send the "F3" key using this method. |

posted February 23, 2004 3:08 PM First you have to find out what F3 is supposed tp send in your application. It's different in different situations. The best way to find out is to use a "sniffer" program like ethereal (www.ethereal.com) to look in on a session from an existing application. Once you find out what the sequence of characters is, you would use the Send method to send it. |

posted February 23, 2004 3:18 PM For example, I just sniffed a windows telnet session into a Linux machine and here is what was sent: F1 chr(27) + "OP" F2 chr(27) + "OQ" F3 chr(27) + "OR" F4 chr(27) + "OS" This may be what you need to send, but I am not sure. If it doesn't work for you, use the method I described in my previous post. |

posted August 29, 2006 7:48 PM The sample Tony listed helped me as well. I also sniffed the "TAB" key and the result is "\t". Is this the same as chr(27) + "t" ? Your help is greatly appreciated. |

posted August 29, 2006 11:57 PM Yes. '\' is how escape is displayed by some logging applications. Escape is Chr(27). |
