Logging a picture that captures a mouse click

Hello all,

Is there a way during playback that I can tell testcomplete to capture a mouse click and have it create a picture of that mouse click to the log?

 

Thanks

    The "Test Visualizer" under project settings does this when enabled.

    Additionally you can take an image of a specific object, immediately after clicking, like so:

     

    //JScript
var wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
wshell.run("notepad");
var object = Sys.Process("notepad").WaitWindow("Notepad", "Untitled*", 1, 10000);
object.click();
Log.Picture(object, "Example of capturing an image.");

      Thanks Ryan,

      I should have been more specific. The item I am clicking on is on a pop up form, that disappears when clicked. So I cannot perform an image capture after the click occurs since the control will not be visible. Is there a way to have testcomplete create the log picture as the button is being clicked?

       

      Thanks

        Aside from either using the Test Visualizer, or moving the mouse, taking the image, and then actually clicking...

        I don't believe so. It sounds as though you could just take the image prior to clicking though unless I'm misunderstanding you.
