Capturing Win32 Screen Elements

When you capture Win32 physical objects, a hierarchy is automatically created in the Real-Time Designer.

To capture a Win32 screen element:

1.

Run the required Win32 application and open Real-Time Designer.

2.

Capture the Win32 element within the application.

3.

In Real-Time Designer, navigate to the Physical Objects tab.

The hierarchy of the screen elements is displayed in the Screen tab. The top level is the calc process level. The bottom level is the captured Win32 element.

4.

To see hidden captures in the Screen Elements tree, right-click the Process screen element level (the calc screen element in this example) and select Show Hidden Captures. See Screen Elements Hierarchy.

The root screen element’s level is a Win32 Process.

The next level is the Win32 Form screen element, which is the parent to the rest Win32 screen elements, including the captured screen element at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Each Win32 screen element has its own class name that starts with the Win32 prefix.
