Dought regarding TYPE option(Keybard Action) in Sikuli

Asked by Santhosh Motamarry

Hi,

I Need a clarification regarding TYPE Keyboard Action in Sikuli.

In Sikuli whatever we write in the braces of type option it will be displayed.
eg: type("santhosh") it will type(&display) santhosh

here my question is there any condition that with out giving any sort of letters in type event can i directly type the letter using original keyboard while running the application.
like e: I am creating a new contact in iphone simulator using sikuli tool. now instead of writing the event type with a particular name, can i have any condition to type any name in creating a contact while the application is running.

Eg:

if i write type("santhosh") to create santhosh contact it will directly create it. but if i need to create another contact again i need to write type option (OR)

is there any condition that we can type the name directly in Sikuli while the application is running.

If I understand you right, you might either use:

# gives the name to the script and types it for you
name = input("give me the name")
type(name)

or
# the script waits, while you are typing the name yourself
popup("type the name, come back and click ok")

Usually, this is a feature, that is implemented by the receiving text field.

If you are talking about the input() feature of Sikuli:
Sorry, no. not implemented yet.

If you need that, you have to implement it on your own using Java features, that can easily be used in Sikuli scripts (which is Jython).
