> Validate Saved Window/Window-Face Commands

  The Validate Saved Window/Window-Face Commands (in eValid Ver.
  4) enable users to see what is actually happening in an
  unattended playback activity by taking periodic screenshots of the
  window state as specified in the script and then validating the
  image by comparing it with baselined files.

  The user has an option to Validate & Save a complete window or
  just the client area of a window.

  Follow these simple steps to be able to Validate & Save a complete
  window or the client area of a window:

  (1) Start your recording.

  (2) Record a series of interactions which will decide the result
      to be displayed in the status page

  (3) Once the status page is displayed, insert either of the two
      Validate & Save Commands by clicking one of these options:

          eValid > Record Mode > Validate > & Save > Window Face
      or
          eValid > Record Mode > Validate > & Save > Window

      These will result in one of these eValid commands being added
      to your script file:

          ValidateSavedWindowFace id "Name of File With Window Face"
      or
          ValidateSavedWindow id "Name of File With Window"

  (4) On playback, eValid will take a screenshot of the complete
      window, or the client area of the window, as specified in the
      script.  eValid compares that file it with the baseline file
      taken during recording and issues an error if differences are
      detected.
