In the initial stages of using Dr. Explain I was 'blown away' by the way it itemised all the fields (with an exception of a few fields), I soon found myself finding that I was having problems with almost no fields being captured.
I realised that the screen captured before had little or no TextBox fields and this seemed to be the issue. After much playing around with the layout of the Windows Form to see if that was the issue I decided it was time to ask for help to see if there was something I could change in Dr. Explain or the layout of my application to fix the issue (I was certianly hoping it would be the former).
After submitting my issue to Dr. Explain I very soon (within 24hrs) had a reply from Dennis (Dr. Explain Team) asking if h could see the 'offending' application.
after a few days spent by me stripping the application down to just one of the 'offending' forms I emailed it off to Dennis (Friday) and (on my Sunday) received a reply with a solution to my issue.
"The easiest way to overcome the issue is to capture your GUI in Win32 mode. Simply unselect the third check box (Accessible objects) in 'Capture an object' dialog. So, all your editbox will be recognized."
And sure enough this resolved my issue.
It's always good to know that not only when you buy a product like this you are getting a very useful tool that helps simply and speed up a process that could be so terrible in the time and complexity, but that there are people (like Dennis) who offer such speedy and helpful support (thanks again Dennis).
