Opening Quicktest from commandline

Post by siemens_dva »

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to start the quicktest module from the command line (or control script). The idea is to open all panels in our project consecutively to automatically create screenshots for our documentation.

Greetings

WCCOAui -p yourPanelName

All commandline options can be found by starting
WCCOAui -help

We do something similar.

* we have an embedded module
* I read the size of the panel
* I then 'stretch' the embedded module so that the panel fits perfectly (and there are no screenshots)
* Load the panel onto the module
* Tell the embedded module to save a bitmap on disk

Good luck

share the fun

Thank you for your quick replies. I'll take a closer look at both approaches.

Thank you!

Actually this turned out to be rather straight forward. Thank you for your help. I'll leave this short code snippet for future reference:

Code: Select all

for(int e = 1; e
