I think anyone who has ever used Gremlin must have the same question: Is
there a better Gremlin?

Well, I'm not complaining. As a free tool, Gremlin is already good enough.
But I'm sure people know that there are a lot of room to improve to make it
a really productive automated testing tool. But so far, I don't know if
there is a commercially available auto test tool? If anybody knows, please
respond.

Then, is it possible for me to "embed" auto-test inside my program? How can
I randomly generate pen and key messages inside my program and feed them
into the message queue? Well, generating messages and feeding them to the
queue are easy. But problems occur when I encounter some controls whick
grabs the execution until it's done. For example, when a randomly generated
penDownEvent event made a Category list shown, execution is handed over to
the list handling routine (inside Palm OS) which loops inside itself until
it sees a penUpEvent. But the problem is: since the execution is inside the
Palm OS, my program doesn't have the chance to generate a penUpEvent! The
net result is: every time when a modal control like List is brought up, it
stopped.

Can anyone tell me is there a way to overcome this? Any API in POSE that
allows me to feed pen and key messages from a Windows app to Palm?
