    Hi,

     

    Visualizer makes a screenshot on every on-screen action at the moment when the action is executed. On-screen action is a clear indication of the interaction with the UI.

    Window opening is a less clear process:

    -- TestComplete must monitor whether or not the window was opened;

    -- For how long a new window must be waited for?

    -- Should the screenshot of the opened window be taken immediately or after some pause to wait for all controls are initialized and populated with data?

    -- The window may be irrelevant for your test;

    -- etc.

     

    With the above in mind, creation of some wrapping function that executes some action and takes a screenshot of the new window seems to be a better solution...

I believe what you are looking for is a Visualizer setting. Project / Propertes /Visualizer Collect visualizer data during test run.

    Not really but could be a solution. I want to make a screenshot of every opened window in my application - but not on every test step.
