WinTask Toolbar during Recording

WinTask Toolbar during Recording

When you use Recording mode, a WinTask toolbar is displayed above the different applications you automate. This toolbar allows to access to the main WinTask features while you are recording all your actions.

We describe each icon within this toolbar from left to right:

Stop Recording

Stops Recording mode. WinTask Editor window is maximized and you can review all your recorded actions.

Start Spy

Calls Spy tool used for finding the names of the different objects within the desktop, and for retrieving data from websites.

ynchronization on Text

Calls Synchronization on Text wizard. Such a synchronization must be inserted in the script if it's only when a new text is displayed that you know that the previous action has completed (for example in the Search window, you know that the search is complete only because the text xx file(s) is displayed).

Synchronization on OCR Text

Calls Synchronization on OCR Text wizard. Such a synchronization must be inserted in the script if it's only when a new text is displayed that you know that the previous action has completed, and this new text is within an image.

Synchronization on Image

Calls Synchronization on Image wizard. Such a synchronization must be inserted in the script if it's only when a new bitmap is displayed that you know that the previous action has completed (for example, you know that a webpage with frames has all its frames loaded when a specific image is displayed).

Synchronization on Window

Calls Synchronization on Window wizard. Such a synchronization must be inserted in the script if you need the script to wait until a specific window disappears.

Synchronization on a time

Inserts just an absolute Pause (for example Pause 10 seconds).

Synchronization on date/hour

Inserts a wait until system date/hour is the one specified.

Wait for a keyboard action

Inserts a wait until the specified keystroke is pressed.

Wait for a menu action

Inserts a wait until the specified menu option has been selected.

Wait for a mouse action

Inserts a wait until a click mouse has been done.
