How to the sendkeys with VB in CATIA ?

How to the sendkeys with VB in CATIA ?

(OP)
Hello everybody,

Like I said in my previous post (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=253341&page=1) I'd like to use the function Search in my macro with VB.

But it works only If I have previously opened the Search windows at least once.(In my previsous post I said that I need to run a first manually search but it was a mistake I just need to open the Search windows, it's enough).

So I have tried to use the Sendkeys function in my macro to open the windows automatically but nothing happens.

Code:
SendKeys "^F" 'code for CTRL+F

Would somebody know how to use the sendkeys function with CATIA V5 ?

RE: How to the sendkeys with VB in CATIA ?

Power input mode will do what you need

Sub CATMain()
CATIA.StartCommand "Search..."
End Sub
