Clear a dialogue control using SendKeysToWindow

[ssimop]

I am in need to clear a dialogue control, under certain conditions. I guess I would may use of a statement of type :

SendKeysToWindow id(5 hDlg) key(...)

but I am sorry I failed to configure the key combination.

Any advice would be mostly welcome.

What control it is? Can I test?
What keys you would use to clear it manually or with the key function?

Many thanks for your help. The control to be cleared is number 5 in the following dialog. The key combination to manually clear could be "Home - Shift/End - Back".

Function tempf05

Why SendKeysToWindow? Why not setwintext?

[ssimop]

You are absolutely right. However, what would you propose to position the cursor, immediately after clearing its content to field numbered 5?

[Gintaras]

To show the text cursor (caret) in the field? Need to focus the control.
