Hi there..
I want to work on a image review tool. The basic idea of this tool is to review some GUI applications (developed in any language) and give comments to the developer with reference to the part of the GUI, I am making comment on. The final report with comments needs to be in MS Excel.
My idea is first run the application under review and get the GUI. Then using AutoIT place a transperant layer over it (could be on whole of the desktop size also) then mark a rectangle with a cross mouse icon on interested area, get the image of that area from the GUI beneath the transparent layer. After that get a text box or something where I can put down my comment about the croped area. Finally save those comments and croped images in excel file.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to get a transparent layer over the GUI using Autoit?
2. Where to find some examples to start with?
3. How do I get the marked image from the desktop?
Thanks in advance
