WINDOWS
Summary:
If the Microsoft Test for Windows Test Driver sends itself an ALT+F4
key combination (or another event that would result in Test Driver
attempting to close itself), Test Driver may become deadlocked and may
hang the system. Test Driver can send itself events if it becomes the
active window while a test script is running.
To avoid this situation, make sure that Test Driver is minimized while
running a script (choose Environment from the Options menu and select
the Minimize Main Window First check box) or make sure that any event
that may cause a window to close is going to the correct window (you
can use the WGetActWnd function in TESTCTRL.DLL to check the handle of
the active window).
This is a design limitation of Microsoft Test for Windows version 1.0.
More Information:
If you are running a script created with the Recorder tool (by
choosing Record Events from the Tools menu), make certain that the
Minimize Main Window First check box is selected to avoid having Test
Driver be the active window when you run the recorded script. This
will prevent a recorded script that closes the active window from
possibly hanging Test Driver.
