Steer PuTTY Engine 3.0 controls

You can steer the following standard controls with the PuTTY Engine 3.0:

• TextBox

• Label

• Table

For information on how to create Modules using these controls, check out "Create PuTTY Modules".

Limitations

Note the following restrictions for steering PuTTY controls:

• PuTTY applications don't support cursor positioning. When you steer TextBoxes with ActionMode Input, Tricentis Tosca places the text in the currently active position in the terminal.

• PuTTY applications don't support table manipulation. When you steer Tables, you can't use ActionMode Input.

• When you steer your PuTTY application, make sure that the window size is the same as when you scanned it.

• PuTTY doesn't detect passwords. When you send passwords over PuTTY, use DataType Password to protect them.

• Use an English keyboard layout in PuTTY to ensure special characters send as expected.

Control steering

If you use these special characters {,+, ^, %, ~, (), [], you need additional escaping. To do so, surround the special characters with curly braces {}. For more information on how to work with special characters, see chapters "Special characters" and "Keyboard commands".
