> Customizing eValid Script Playback
eValid has a unique capability to allow users to add special
effects to customize a recorded script.
All these commands are found in the Extrinsic Command menu item in
eValid's script dialog window (Insert > Extrinsic Commands).
To illustrate such an effect, we can add a "MessageWindow" command
in the script file to help an eValid user identify what is
happening during a playback session by adding customized messages
throughout the script.
To create customized message windows follow these simple steps:
(1) Record a new script or edit an existing one.
(2) If using an existing script, load the script file into the
script window to prepare for editing. If using a newly
recorded script, simply click on the "Edit" button located in
the center of the toolbar or simply press the shortcut key,
"Ctrl + E".
(3) During edit mode, click on the part of the script where the
commands will be inserted.
(4) Click on "Insert > Extrinsic Commands > MessageWindow" to
insert the message window command into the script.
For example, your script might look like this:
...
# MessageWindow "MESSAGE" [seconds [x y w h]]
MessageWindow "Your text here" 5 200 300 400 200
...
The message window can be fully customized to display plain
text as well as HTML at any location in the desktop, width and
height adjustable, as well as length of time for window to
stay open.
