Run an Analog Track File in Fast Run Speed (VBScript)
'The following example uses the RunAnalog method to perform the
'mouse drags used to replicate a user's signature on the screen using
'the Fast run speed. OpenText Functional Testing clicks in the signature area of a
'flight reservation application and then uses the RunAnalog method
'to run the external Track1 analog file.
Window("Flight Reservation").Dialog("Fax Order No.").Click 216, 204
Desktop.RunAnalog "Track1"Run an Analog Track File in Normal Run Speed (VBScript)
