SendKeys.SendWait "{F5}" not working but "^+R" does

[tulanch]

I do not think I am doing anything incorect here. Does Ninja do something special with an F5? The reload ("^+R") does what I need, but it does it on all my open chart windows when I only want to do the specific one I pressed Control F5 within.

here is how I invoked it...

privatevoid OnKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{


if( e.KeyCode == Keys.F5 && e.Control )
{
if (lastCtrlF5.AddMilliseconds(refreash_delay) < DateTime.Now){
lastCtrlF5 = DateTime.Now;
Print ("Reset Data 5 ");
ChartControl.ParentForm.Activate();
//SendKeys.SendWait("{F5}"); // does not work
//SendKeys.SendWait("^+R"); // this worked
SendKeys.SendWait( Keys.F5.ToString()); // does not work

}
}





}

Hello tulanch,

Thank you for your post.

This will reload all NinjaScript, this means all charts.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I know it affects all charts, but my question is it appears that "{F5 }" is handled different that the "^+R" when using SendKeys.SendWait that true or is there something I should provide differently to simulate a F5 key press?

Hello tulanch,

Thank you for your response.

I am not aware of any difference or no difference, This would be considered unsupported.
