Afternoon.

What happens in eValid when I have a script that needs the desktop but I have the playback running with eValid minimized?

Thanks

Thanks for posting BOrrison.

That is a good question...let's review the whole situation.

(1) eValid can minimize itself with a built-in command "Minimize" and during playback it can un-minimize itself with the built-in command "Restore".

It can also maximize the browser using the built-in command "Maximize" but this is used only rarely -- you have to want this.

(2) In a pure-DOM-based playback it makes no difference whether the browser face uses desktop space or not.

Playback runs perfectly well with a minimized browser.

(3) If you have made a recording using Application Mode, then the recording is played back relative to the desktop, not to the browser face.

Here is the manual page summarizing this:

(4) If eValid HAS to have the desktop then it will "restore" the minimized version so it can get to the desktop.

Assuming, that is, that the operating system version allows a process to "restore" itself automatically (some version make this an option that you have to "allow").

In summary, eValid takes care of all of the necessary cases!
