The Viewpoint method is the LearnMode type method that is a hybrid between the Window Walker and HyperLearn methods and is used with some GUI applications on the Windows platform.
It is similar to Window Walker in that it is control-based. However, instead of using address of node in the control tree to identify and locate data, Viewpoint (formerly known as Window Text) uses x,y coordinates (similar to HyperLearn) to locate a control. The controls can be in a disabled state and the window can be dragged off the screen. Property values are defined by clicking the pointer in each text box in the captured window. This method also usually defines the screen label for you by collecting the text in the title bar of the captured window.
