Capture Window dialog : General

Captured object type order

The checkboxes above the object type switch buttons indicate what objects should be selectable for further capturing when mouse cursor is over them.

If all check boxes are checked then the selection will be made in the same priority like shown in the dialog:

- HTML elements and tags in MS Internet Explorer (top priority)

- Accessible objects

- Win32 windows (lowest priority)

Uncheck any checkbox to exclude the corresponding objects from selection and capturing order.

Switch buttons

The switch buttons work like tab control.

The first button with crosshair shows the Capturing Settings panel that allows setup the basic settings of the capturing process.

Other three buttons indicate what object is currently selected. There are three types of selectable objects:

- HTML elements and tags in MS Internet Explorer

- Accessible objects

- Win32 windows

Once the mouse is over an object the button of the appropriate type will be pressed automatically and the object details will be shown.

You may press another button to analyze the element under the mouse cursor as an object of another type.
