    Hi,

    Desktop in this case is an object provided by TestComplete. See documentation for more details on it.

    i don't know exact syntax for Python, but all scripting languages have eval()/evaluate() function (or a kind) that accepts a string that must conform to the given script language requirements, evaluates it as a code and returns a result.

    So, say, for JScript the code will be like this:

    var variable = 'Desktop';

    var cmd = 'Sys.' + variable + '.KeyDown(0x0D)';

    evaluate(cmd);
