eValid -- eValid Programmatic Interface (EPI) -- Example Program #04
eValid Home

Example Program #04
This is what a sample C++ program that illustrates retrieval of the complete eValid EventLog during the EPI program playback.

During the playback there are several in-the-browser AJAX-type synchronization steps. Also, the script performs and IndexFindElement command that is paralleled in the program. Finally, there is a SaveRecord command to record the results to a local file.

The eValid script sequence that corresponds to this program is shown below.
