Hi everyone.

Would appreciate your assistance if possible.

I am using sendkeys to mitigate a data entry process. I found the code below and had some success with being able to send keys.


I have data in Column A, and some of the values are static whilst others are filled dynamically.

How do I loop the below code so that I can basically Sendkey (a1), sleep 500, Sendkey (a2), sleep 500, Sendkey (a3) etc until there is no more. (column downwards one by one only)

Is it a combination of using counta to find the total number of rows


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

Code:
Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)


Sub FINAL()
Const IntHostWaitMs As Integer = 1000
Dim ResultStr As String, i As Integer


Dim autECLPSObj As Object
Dim autCon As Object
Dim autECLOIAObj As Object
Dim Find_Object_A




Set autCon = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLConnMgr")
autCon.autECLConnList.Refresh
Set Find_Object_A = autCon.autECLConnList.findconnectionbyname("A")


If Find_Object_A Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Start Host"
GoTo ExitProcedure
End If


Set autECLPSObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLPS")
Set autECLOIAObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLOIA")
autECLOIAObj.SetConnectionByName ("A")


' Initialize the connection
autECLPSObj.SetConnectionByHandle (autCon.autECLConnList(1).Handle)


'Just some commands to host session


autECLPSObj.SendKeys Range("A1")
autECLPSObj.SendKeys Range("A2")
autECLPSObj.SendKeys Range("A3")
autECLPSObj.SendKeys Range("A4")
Sleep 500

autECLOIAObj.WaitForInputReady IntHostWaitMs
ResultStr = autECLPSObj.GetText(8, 18, 20)




ExitProcedure:


Set autCon = Nothing
Set Find_Object_A = Nothing
Set autECLPSObj = Nothing
Set autECLOIAObj = Nothing


Exit Sub


Errorhandler:
MsgBox "error occured." & _
vbCrLf & "ErrorNo: " & Err & _
vbCrLf & "LineNo: " & Err.Line & _
vbCrLf & "Errormsg:" & _
vbCrLf & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
Resume ExitProcedure




End Sub
