Connectors & Extensions
From version 7.2, changes were made to ensure smooth capturing in all the connectors and the following improvements were made:
Removed the flickering effect when moving the mouse over controls, with the Generic HTML connector showing the most significant improvement.
Enabled real-time navigation of the capturing rectangle when moving the mouse over controls.
Removed issues that may have arisen when moving the mouse over multiple windows with different architectures, and when moving the mouse from the top window to specific controls.
Changed the color of the capturing rectangle.
In version 7.1, core work was undertaken to rework connectivity in order to drastically improve recognition consistency and stability by re-factoring connectivity to be polling-based. This provides:
Performance gains in handling user input.
Recognition improvement.
Improved handling of dynamic documents in Internet Explorer and Chrome.
A change in approach, keeping the recognition surface small, enabling you to have fewer objects to recognize, allowing you to easily enable and disable recognition for screen elements.
Projects prepared in earlier versions, with manual modifications to the Code tab for a screen element, will require you to either update the code manually or replace the code with standard code (deselect the Edit code option in the Identification tab to replace your customized code with standard code). The project will not compile successfully until you have made these changes. For projects with screen connectivity in referenced projects, connectivity can only be updated in the active project. When you open the main project, the connectivity in referenced projects is read-only, and Real-Time Designer cannot update this. To resolve this, set the project with screen captures to the Active Project (just once), and the converter automatically converts it. See Upgrading to Version 7.2.
The connectors available in your Real-Time Designer depend on the connectors that were selected when Real-Time Designer was installed. Depending on the connectors installed in Real-Time Designer during installation, different screen elements can be captured. Each connector has Physical Object types, identification parameters, and relations that are specific to that connector and that Physical Object type.
If company policy disables Web extensions, NICE APA extensions should be an exception to this policy.
In addition to Screen Element connectors, Real-Time Designer also has Scene Composer connectors that can supplement the functionality provided by the Screen Element connectors. In some cases, Screen Element connectors can provide functionality that does not exist within Scene Composer connectors, and vice versa.
This section describes the most frequently used connectors and extensions (sub-connectors). Access the connectors via the Physical Objects tab, Screen Elements area.
