Can only be used when you don't use a #Ctrl-ID argument.
The text to type into this area.
The ID number of the control that the text will be typed in.
Description:
Used to enter data (for example, usernames and passwords) into windows. You can specify a #Ctrl-ID as an argument after the text argument that will be entered.
If you use the #Ctrl-ID argument, the text is sent directly to the window. As a further aid to entering text into a specific field or #Ctrl-ID, SecureLogin provides custom keys for Tab and Enter. If you don't specify the #Ctrl-ID, SecureLogin sends keystrokes to whichever control has focus.
Only use the -raw flag when you don't use the #Ctrl-ID argument. By default, when SecureLogin types into a window, SecureLogin verifies that the window exists before continuing.
This verification process is disabled when the -raw flag is set, causing SecureLogin to log in to whichever window has focus. This is useful for typing after a Delay that is a step in the login process.
Example:
Dialog Title "Login" Ctrl #1 EndDialog Type $Username #1 Type $Password #2 Click #1

Type Commands Used with Terminal Launcher
Terminal Launcher uses the High Level Language Application Programming Interface (HLLAPI) to interface with a wide range of mainframe emulators which implement this programming standard.
The following table lists the @ commands that you can use in the SecureLogin script Type command. These commands perform specific emulator and mainframe functions. For example, you can send an Enter, Tab, or cursor key or issue a mainframe emulator print screen or reset function.
The @ commands are used in script language in the following format:
