Monitoring Video Memory
I am creating a library of performance testing scripts for the software that my company produces. I was wondering if there are any functions in test complete that would allow me to check the video car...

Hi Jonathan,
Below is what was posted somewhere in time in the old good TestComplete newsgroup. :)
Hope that it will inspire you with the ideas.
//From: "How can I get Video Memory usage in the script?", Dec 16, 2008
//1. Add the "Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw" assembly to the "Selected
// Components" list of the CLR Bridge option (see the "Project Properties -
// CLR Bridge Options" help topic for details).
//2. Use the following script:
function Test_VideoMemory();
var ddDevice, ddCaps : OleVariant;
begin
ddDevice :=
dotNET.Microsoft_DirectX_DirectDraw.Device.zctor(dotNET.Microsoft_DirectX_DirectDraw.CreateFlags.HardwareOnly);
ddCaps := ddDevice.GetCaps();
Log.Message('Free video memory: ' + ddCaps.HardwareCaps.VideoMemoryFree/1024/1024 + ' MB');
end;
