{{DISPLAYTITLE:_SCREENPRINT}}
The [[_SCREENPRINT]] statement simulates typing text into a Windows focused program.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_SCREENPRINT]] {{Parameter|text$}}
{{PageDescription}}
* [[Keywords_currently_not_supported_by_QB64#Keywords_Not_Supported_in_Linux_or_MAC_OSX_versions|Keyword not supported in Linux or MAC versions]]
* {{Parameter|text$}} is the text to be typed into a focused program's text entry area, one character at a time.
* Set the focus to a desktop program by using the [[_SCREENIMAGE]] handle as the [[_SOURCE]]. Use the image to map the desired area.
* [[_SCREENCLICK]] can also be used to set the focus to a program's text entry area on the desktop.
*'''Note: If the focus is not set correctly, the text may be printed to the QB64 IDE, if open, or not printed at all.'''
* Ctrl + letter key shortcuts can be simulated using the appropriate [[ASCII]] Control character codes 1 to 26 shown below:
{{WhiteStart}} CTRL + A = CHR$(1) ☺ StartHeader (SOH) CTRL + B = CHR$(2) ☻ StartText (STX)
CTRL + C = CHR$(3) ♥ EndText (ETX) CTRL + D = CHR$(4) ♦ EndOfTransmit (EOT)
CTRL + E = CHR$(5) ♣ Enquiry (ENQ) CTRL + F = CHR$(6) ♠ Acknowledge (ACK)
CTRL + G = CHR$(7) • [[BEEP]] (BEL) CTRL + H = CHR$(8) ◘ '''[Backspace]''' (BS)
CTRL + I = CHR$(9) ○ Horiz.Tab '''[Tab]''' CTRL + J = CHR$(10) ◙ LineFeed(printer) (LF)
CTRL + K = CHR$(11) ♂ Vert. Tab (VT) CTRL + L = CHR$(12) ♀ FormFeed(printer) (FF)
CTRL + M = CHR$(13) ♪ '''[Enter]''' (CR) CTRL + N = CHR$(14) ♫ ShiftOut (SO)
CTRL + O = CHR$(15) ☼ ShiftIn (SI) CTRL + P = CHR$(16) ► DataLinkEscape (DLE)
CTRL + Q = CHR$(17) ◄ DevControl1 (DC1) CTRL + R = CHR$(18) ↕ DeviceControl2 (DC2)
CTRL + S = CHR$(19) ‼ DevControl3 (DC3) CTRL + T = CHR$(20) ¶ DeviceControl4 (DC4)
CTRL + U = CHR$(21) § NegativeACK (NAK) CTRL + V = CHR$(22) ▬ Synchronous Idle (SYN)
CTRL + W = CHR$(23) ↨ EndTXBlock (ETB) CTRL + X = CHR$(24) ↑ Cancel (CAN)
CTRL + Y = CHR$(25) ↓ EndMedium (EM) CTRL + Z = CHR$(26) → End Of File(SUB) (EOF)

:''Explanation:'' If the Windows shortcuts are set up properly, printing ASCII Control characters acts like the user selected the control + letter combinations to ''Select all'' (CHR$(1)), ''Copy'' (CHR$(3)) and ''Paste'' (CHR$(22)) the text with the Windows Clipboard. If the editor program's CTRL key combinations are different, use the matching letter [[ASCII]] code from A = 1 to Z = 26 in the text editor.
