Description
Use the KeyUp method to simulate the release of a key specified by its virtual-key code. The method performs the same action as the KeyUp event of a low-level procedure.
Declaration
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
VKCode
The code of the key to release. For a list of key codes, see the Virtual-Key Codes article in the MSDN library.
If the Win32API plugin is installed and enabled in TestComplete, you can use the named constants VK_xxxx instead of the hard-coded key code values. The available VK_xxxx constants are listed under the Win32API node in the Code Completion window.
Delay
The number of milliseconds passed after you command TestComplete to simulate the release of a key and before TestComplete starts simulating the release. The delay gives you the possibility to better emulate real-life conditions. Also, it is necessary so the key press can be properly processed by the operating system.
If Delay is negative, it is set to the Auto-wait timeout.
If Delay is greater than 1000, the waiting progress will be shown in the TestComplete indicator during the test run.
Result Value
None.
