Hi Suneel,
SendKeys in any programming language is not a fully reliable option for automating anything. For SendKeys to work at least a bit you need to activate the right window and correctly place the focus on the desired textbox which is the trickiest part.
However, for properly writing anything to a web page element (say textbox) you need to spy that textbox using the Application Modeller, then use the Writer stage to input anything to that textbox.

Hi @sunny
Global Send Keys should be your backup to the Write stage. If the Write stage doesn't work then using the combination of Focus/Activate Application, Wait stages and Global Send Keys - you should have a reliable working solution.
Global Send Keys is available to use for applications where the native Write stage doesn't work (and Surface Automation too!)
