Recording Window Tags

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

When Silk Test Classic cannot identify some objects in the application under test, you can use the Record Window Tags dialog box to capture window tags for these objects.

  1. In the Silk Test Classic menu, click Options > Agent > Compatibility.
  2. Verify that the Add ‘Window Tags’ to the Record menu check box is checked.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Click Record > Window Tags. The Record Window Tags dialog box appears.
  5. Optional: Check the Keep on top check box to keep the Record Window Tags dialog box in the foreground even when you are moving the mouse cursor over the application under test. This check box is checked by default.
  6. Move the mouse cursor over the object for which you want to record the tag. The tag of the object, along with the tags of any parent objects, displays in the Current tag field.
  7. Click Ctrl+Alt.
  8. Optional: Edit the Current tag in the field.
  9. Optional: Click Show Detail to specify what information should be captured in the tag.
    1. Specify the format for the tag.
    2. Specifies what information should be included in the tag. Parent and Class are included by default.
  10. Perform one of the following tasks:
    • Click Paste to Editor to paste the contents of the Current tag field to the current cursor position in the active Silk Test Classic file.
    • Click Copy to Clipboard to paste the contents of the Current tag field to the Clipboard. You can then click Edit > Paste in the Silk Test Classic menu to insert the tag information into the location of your choice in the current window, or even into a different editing window.
  11. Optional: Click Resume Tracking to record another tag.
  12. Click Close.
