Evaluation - Bitmap of custom HTML

[Sean]

Hi, I'm evaluating the Testing Framework, and am looking for a specific feature I'm hoping can be supported.
I think I see that to grab a bitmap of the page, I would use Browser.Window.GetBitmap(), which is awesome.
However, I would like to do the same thing, but from a page that is rendered with HTML source that is provided, not navigated to.  For example, I take some existing HTML source, do some manipulation, give it to the Browser to render somehow, then grab Bitmap.  Hopefully in some straightforward manner leveraging the Testing Framework.

Will Testing Framework allow me to do this?  Or is there a better way?

Thanks!

Also, I'm hoping GetBitmap works when run in a service?

Hello Sean,

Thank you for contacting us.

Our framework works with the active browser, which means the browser which the recorder is connected to.

You have several options:

1. You can change the page you are navigating.

2. You can navigate to some local host page which is changed.

3. You can manually attach to a browser which has open the manipulated page. Please see this article.

If I am missing something, please give us more detailed information.

Boyen,

Let's see if I understand option 1) correctly:

1) Open the browser to some physical local page, call it empty.aspx
2) Replace the contents of the page using Testing Framework (this would be a complete replacement)
3) Allow the browser to render the new content
4) Grab the bitmap

If that is indeed what you meant, I wasn't sure that there were methods that would allow step 2)

Hi Sean,

You are right, you cannot change the source of the page via Testing Framework.

You should change the HTML source in some other way.

If you need further assistance please let us know.
