Have any of you tried playing back the output of a SET EVENTRACKING file? BACKGROUND:
If you place the following in the Init of a form: set eventlist to keypress, mousemove, mousedown, mouseup, click, rightclick, dblclick set eventtracking to events.txt set eventtracking on And the following in the Destroy of a form: set eventtracking off set eventtracking to modify file events.txt You will get a timestamped list of keyboard and mouse events that describe a user's interaction with a form. COOL! (Note: These events will not be tracked for ActiveX components). Bottom line: It appears to be very simple to 'record' a user's interaction with a form. QUESTION: Any suggestions on how to have a VFP application 'play back' the events in an EVENTTRACKING file? My guess is that it will not be possible to have VFP playback mouse and keyboard events without getting in the way of itself and thus an external program should provide generate the events, ie. via SendMessage() and PostMessage() Win32 API calls? MOTIVATION: Record user interaction with a form using test data and playback the same interaction sequence against the form with user data. I'm assuming that there will be many customers :) so it makes sense to record once/playback many times. Appreciate your thoughts!
