 |
|
I know Eventcorder since ages (even though I never used it), but I guess its clickview technology might make it interesting for those who try to detect moving objects.
Well. Its bundled system tools might come handy for some AHKers too ..
Windows spy
Keyboard spy
Mouse spy
Memory spy
Object spy
[More..]

Some aditional information, taken from ECs help file: | Quote: | Eventcorder vs. rest of the world
There is a large variety of tools and products that can drive another applications. All these can be basically split to two groups:
Simple Windows events recorders
The operation is simple and looks promissing but the playback is found rather unreliable later. Whenever something changes in the driven application or in the operating system the events go bananas. Even worse, such a blind playback can inadvertenly operate other application than supposed which can cause a harm. These tools usually don't enable editing of the recorded events and also no scripting is possible.
Tools that retrive ID's of the Windows controls during recording to access them during playback
These systems count on that the driven application is a standard Windows application that uses Windows controls (e.g. buttons, edits, combo boxes, etc). There is a large scale of these tools, from simple freeware tools to complex products that are usually used for testing purposes. These tools don't record the events as they are, but they decode them to some kind of scripting commands. This way the playback is not an exact repetition of the recording. These tools have also another serious limitation - they can be used only for standard Windows applications. If the driven application draws the GUI on it's own (typically games), they are not much useful.
Where does Eventcorder belong to?
Eventcorder lies on the border between these two groups. It belongs to the first group by it's nature, but using the unique Clickview idea and re-focusing capability the playback is much more reliable and controlable. It doesn't use Windows ID's to access controls and therefore, it can drive generally ANY application. Whatever you can see and click on your screen, Eventcorder can also. |
Make up your mind.  |
