Lua - How to send text to an Input

[gb1234]

I am using the following code get reference to a text input on a tradeskill container:

mq.TLO.Window('TradeskillWnd/COMBW_LeftSideArea/COMBW_FavoritesArea/COMBW_SearchArea/COMBW_SearchTextEdit').LeftMouseUp()

How can I send Keyboard input into the textbox now that it has y active cursor in it?

I tried using mq.cmd(), but it assumes that I am sending in /commands and not just raw text. I also tried /noparse, but get the same command issue.

mq.cmd('/notify WindowName texthere')

if you need spaces

mq.cmd('/notify WindowName "text with spaces"')

double quote the text

I switched it to mq.cmd('/notify TradeskillWnd/COMBW_LeftSideArea/COMBW_FavoritesArea/COMBW_SearchArea/COMBW_SearchTextEdit "test data"')
and got a warning saying "Syntax: /notify <window|'item'> <control|menuselect|0> <notifiication> [notification data]".

So instead I tried: mq.cmd('/notify TradeskillWnd COMBW_SearchTextEdit "test data"') and got an error "invalid notification 'test data'"
Do I need to have what the notification type is? and if so is there a list that I can pull from? On the datype page for the window I see the following actions:
DoClose
DoOpen
LeftMouseDown
LeftMouseHeld
LeftMouseHeldUp
LeftMouseUp
Move[x,y,width,height]
RightMouseDown
RightMouseHeld
RightMouseHeldUp
RightMouseUp
Select
SetAlpha[0-255]
SetBGColor[argb]
SetCurrentTab[#|name]
SetFadeAlpha[0-255]

But I do not see any action for character input?

Thanks for the fast response!

Yeah it looks like someone's blanked out a bunch of the old options in some update some time.

you can always build a for loop and use /keypress [character] chat like /keypress a chat while the box is selected lol kinda rigged but hey.

Thanks! that worked great. Do you know of an api reference I can look at? I have been going through https://docs.macroquest.org/main/ and https://www.redguides.com/docs/tlos/, but I am not seeing the /notify or /keypress commands in the wikis?
