eValid Power User's Tips and Tricks can help you use eValid to get better results, quicker, and easier. Each Tips and Tricks item addresss one or two issues that will help you to increase your effectiveness with eValid.

> Lock & Unlock Commands

  In a LoadTest Application where focus issues are critical to
  the success of the LoadTest scenario, eValid has a special
  command available that can be added to an existing script which
  locks the commands enclosed within the Lock & Unlock commands and
  prohibits any other application from stealing focus unless the
  unlock command has been issued.

  Can be applied to a Load Test scenario which deals with online
  transactions and which requires focus to be locked to the certain
  eValid performing the task.

  e.g.

  # Navigates to the Yahoo! Mail Page
  InitLink "http://mail.yahoo.com"
  # Example Use of these commands
  # From this point onward focus will not be taken away from
  # the specific window until a unlock command is read.
  Lock
  InputValue 100 "TEXT" "UserLogin" "eValid" "" ""
  InputValue 110 "TEXT" "PassWord" "94107" "" ""
  Unlock

  In the example given, the lock which is issued is only to take effect
  when a field is required to be accomplished and unlocked as soon as
  the appropriate fields have been filled out. This eliminates the
  possibility of eValid not being able to completely fill out the form
  due to other applications stealing focus and in turn inserting the
  given values in the wrong window.
