The Window Walker method is the LearnMode type method you use with some GUI applications that conform to Microsoft Windows interface design guidelines.

Many applications in use today have a graphical user interface that operates entirely within a single window on the desktop. Examples of applications that run inside a single window are Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Custom-built applications also may fall into this category. Additionally, Window Walker can learn some Java applets and applications that run in browsers.

These application windows are published to the operating system in such a way that LearnMode can easily communicate with them using the Window Walker method. Different information is contained within easily distinguishable controls, such as fields, images, and objects. Data is obtained automatically and dynamically from the Windows application running on your desktop. When capturing data from your business application, Window Walker method it delivers the unique control IDs to the application plan for defining property values and the screen label.
