advanced snapshot

Hi everybody,

 

last year i found an entry for something like an advanced snapshot. You have to change a setting somewhere deep in Testcomplete and the Testcase will map every object including popups you can`t use the object spy on. I only used it once because it blocked my workstation for halve an hour to get the property of one single object. Since I can’t remember the right keyword I couldn’t find the entry in forum or support. Does anybody know?

 

Regards

Tom

    Hi,

     

    I guess you talking about the capturing snapshot on object or desktop level. If i'm correct you can see that property in 

     

    Tools > Current Project Properties > Visualizer Then 

     

    Capture style - Specifies the area TestComplete will take a screenshot of. Possible values include –

    Value Description
    Top-level parent (Default) The top-level application window with which you are working.
    Desktop The entire desktop.
    Note: When you work with Android applications, Test Visualizer always captures the entire screen of the mobile device.

      Thank you Shankar,

       

      but that's not what I'm searching for. It produced a lot of data like using the object spy several times. So you could find objects that were not defined by the test script/findchild bevore.
