Summary:
Running the WINTEST.MST sample test script (provided with Microsoft
Test version 1.0 for Windows) may result in an unrelated application
being started or a minimized application being restored when the
WINTEST.MST script closes Paintbrush. This error occurs because of an
error in the sample script.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the WINTEST.MST
sample script provided with Microsoft Test version 1.0 for Windows. A
correction for this problem is shown below.
More Information:
The last two lines of the WINTEST.MST script call the FastTest
routines XAlt and XEnter to close the active application, Paintbrush,
as follows:
XAlt "f"
XEnter "x"
The code above sends three keystrokes: ALT+F, X, and ENTER. Because
Paintbrush closes itself after receiving the ALT+F, X combination, the
ENTER key event does not go to Paintbrush, but instead goes to
whatever window becomes the active window when Paintbrush closes. If
the next active window happens to be Windows Program Manager, the
ENTER key will cause one of your applications listed in Program
Manager to start running. If all windows are minimized, the ENTER key
event will cause one of them to be restored to normal size.
To avoid this problem, use the XText statement instead of XEnter, as
follows:
XAlt "f"
XText "x"
