> Recording Desktop Windows

  When recording in a browser is not enough, eValid has a special
  capability to be able to record desktop windows. This is extremely
  helpful when the application you are testing is launched from a
  browser BUT is not embedded in it.

  Typical use would involve pop-up windows from the browser but is
  actually a system window, therefor restricting eValid's normal
  recording capabilities.

  Or, if your website requires interaction with Windows Applications
  outside of the browser, eValid can easily record it -- with Recording
  Desktop Windows.

> Here's How To Do It

  (1) Start your recording.

  (2) As soon as you need to record "Desktop Windows" click on "eValid >
      Record Mode > Advanced Recording > Record Desktop Window" or
      simply press "Ctrl + F12" to activate the function.

  (3) You will be prompted to select which desktop window to record in.*

  (4) Select appropriate desktop window.

  *** Remember: To record a particular window it must already be open
      when the command is executed or it will not be shown in the list
      of available desktop windows.
