understanding onoverlappingwindow event params

I am looking for confirmation of my understanding. I want to handle a pesky overlapping window that otherwise would not interfer with my test. But since it is an unreproducable application crash, I cannot easily test my understanding. So merrily I test along with kmy application under test. And a crash occurs, generating a window (which just so happens to be a dwwin aka Dr. Watson window).



So an OnOverlappingWindow event is generated to which I wish to respond in the event handlers.  The parameters passed in are:



Sender: The event control that processes the event. Is this self referential to the OnOverlappingWindow event itself? What does this mean?



Window: Is this the window on which the offending window overlaps?



OverlappingWindow: The offending window which I wish to deal with. This is the only part of the help file that seems clear to me. Be I dense?



Is my understanding correct?

  • Hi Stephanie,


     


    Refer to the "OnOverlappingWindow Event" article. It describes parameters of the OnOverlappingWindow event handler. Besides that, look at the following sample shipped along with TestComplete:
