Guest Ankit Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) Hi, I'm currently connecting to a unix system (linux etc..) from a windows machine through VncViewer. Once this is done, I perform a bunch of GUI tests, like opening a terminal, installing a product through it's GUI. These actions involve mostly text input, mouse click on certain buttons etc. I was wondering if it would be possible to use this program to automate the above scenario? In other words, would i be able to identify the object handles, like the button name or the specific window inside VNC? It doesn't have to be VNC that I use, but I need some sort of remote desktop program that can connect to my unix machine. If this is not the software, then any suggestions on what i could do would be greatlt appreciated!!! Thanks a lot, Ankit Edited October 6, 2005 by Ankit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruge Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 VNC (as well as pcAnywhere, NetMeeting, and others) treats the remote like a bitmap. Therefore, you won't be able to read handles or interact with controls. Even if you could, *nix do not use Win32 controls (without wine) You can, however, use a combination of PixelSearch(), MouseClick(), and Send() to control your VNC session. Most *nix products i've dealt with are installable without a GUI. It would be much easier to remote execute an install script or use a telnet session than it would be to control a VNC session.
