Power automate desktop - send keys shift click

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RBS1995 75

Hi guys, 

 

Relatively new to PAD and wanting to run a flow which selects all within a certain application.

The application doesn't accept CTRL+A so I've been advised to click the top one and shift click to the bottom to select all.

 

I'm not sure how to send the shift click event to do so.

Is it with "send clicks"? - I have a command on it as {LShiftKey}({LButton})

 

Is this the right input to send this through or is it a different process altogether to achieve this?

    Depending, you might be able to click the first item in the list, then enter a shift-end or shift-control-end to highlight to the last item (in case the full list is not displayed). However, if you want to select the last element with a shift-click, you will need to move the mouse to that location first.

    Hi LogicSmith,

     

    I have found an alternative method to it being 2 steps of Press/release and mouse click but would be nice to know if there was an easier method within send keys.

     

    Thanks for the assistance
