Hi Here’s my problem : I’ve created a custom OCX with VB that sends an ALT+F4 key. I tried to register it through the “Custom controls” menu, I have specified the location of my OCX file, then I got a message telling me that my OCX was properly registered but my control does not appear in the custom controls list. anyway I tried to use it in a “test” form, strangely I was able to declare an automation variable of my OCX type without any problem. But when I ran the form’s code I got an error message telling me that there’s no existing instance for my variable. Maybe there’s a simple way to make it work, but I’m completely new in NAVISION development that’s why I’m asking for your help 
Regards
Why don’t you use the Windows Scripting Host Automation Server ? That one works really. There you have a SendKeys function.
Hi Indeed I didn’t see that the automation variable for the WSH was already registered [:D], thank you for your reply Thomas. BUT I tried to make it work this way and I got the same message “No existing instance for this automation variable” [:I]. I have created a variable named ‘WShell’ of the WSH automation type and the code I try to run is simply : “WShell.SendKeys(’%{F4}’)”. Can you help me to find out what’s wrong once again ? Thanks for your help Regards
And have you created a valid instance of the automation variable with IF ISCLEAR(WSHell) THEN CREATE(WSHell);?
That’s it [B)] I apologize for this newbie question many thanks for your help (Danke schön) See u
