If you’re pressing F7 on the computer keyboard and that is working, the [code I posted above](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-scripting/32450/7) does create an F7 key press when you press a button with that code in the action performed script of the button like this.

If this does not work for your application, the next question is where is the focus when you press F7 on the keyboard and it works? Is the focus/cursor in a component in Ignition or in another program?
