Test-Button

[Tangy]

Some dialogs of the toolbar have a test-button which surrond the window or the control with a flashing rectangle. I guess there is a simple function behind this button. I have search for it, but not find it :roll: . Anybody knows which function this is? Or I need to write the code by myself?

Thanks for answer.

But I not write clear what I mean: I really want same functionalty like the test-button. A function which takes a window-/control-handle and highlights the window/control.

My idea is:
I want this as "debugging" feature. Each time my macro searched for a window/control, the macro should highlight the detected window/control.

This functionality is useful because the macros have sometimes a different behavior if run as exe or run in qm. Sometimes the macro-exe detect the wrong control (this is the matter of the application for which I write the macro). So when I test the macro, I immediatly can notice which control is detected.

I am just a beginner for qm and the first time it is hard to find immediately all functionality. Anyway qm is great tool .

Thanks for this.

You call the Windows API! This I have missed.
