Description
Sends text to active window/control.Uses the API to enter unicode characters, so this should work for all text fields in FileMaker.
May work from a script, but you can use our schedule functions to delay delivery by running the function after a delay.
Examples
Send text with delay:
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Schedule.EvaluateAfterDelay"; 1; "MBS(\"RemoteControl.InsertText\"; \"Hello\")" ) ]
# script ends after this
