Yep, this code will send a backspace: BFS.Input.SendKeys("{VK_8}");

and this code will send a delete: BFS.Input.SendKeys("{VK_46}");


Thank you!

Is there a canonical list of the bfs virtual keys, or would I be best served using a list such as https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes and converting the "Value" to decimal? ]]> RE: Sendkeys: backspace or delete key https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/sendkeys-backspace-or-delete-key/?ID=018f592b-f085-7301-a4a2-97e8adaf37b9#3 Thu, 09 May 2024 17:21:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/sendkeys-backspace-or-delete-key/?ID=018f592b-f085-7301-a4a2-97e8adaf37b9#3 ClipboardFusion Yep, this code will send a backspace: BFS.Input.SendKeys("{VK_8}");

I am still interested in knowing if sendkeys can send delete or backspace though.

Thank you!! ]]> Sendkeys: backspace or delete key https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/sendkeys-backspace-or-delete-key/?ID=018f592b-f085-7301-a4a2-97e8adaf37b9 Wed, 08 May 2024 17:06:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/sendkeys-backspace-or-delete-key/?ID=018f592b-f085-7301-a4a2-97e8adaf37b9 ClipboardFusion I am trying to simplify filling in information in a form using ClipboardFusion macros. I need to remove some of the text that is already there. I’ve tried using:

BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{BACKSPACE}”);
BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{BACK}”);
BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{BKSP}”);
BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{BS}”);
BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{VK_BACK}”);
BFS.Input.SendKeys(“{VK_DELETE}”);

None of these seem to be working. Is ClipboardFusion capable of doing this? ]]>
