Cannot enter a star sign in a WebEdit in UFT

UFT is failing to do a very simple task. I am trying to fill a search field that allows for star-signs as jokers in the search expression.

WebEdit(xyz).Set "Test*"

But the result is that it only puts "Test" in the field. The field is an ordinary input field in html. I also to catch the case where I have a star in the end using

WebEdit(xyz).Set "Test" & Chr(42)

With the same result. Using an escape "\" does not seem to work either. Can anyone help me with this? I am using UFT 14.53

Solution

  • I finally found an answer thanks to a colleague. Strange enough it works with SendKeys when I add a ({TAB}) or ({RETURN}).
