The new Visual WebGui 1.0 (build 5.81.3.71.1) release contains a new feature that enables capturing and replaying a Visual WebGui application. This feature can serve both as a demo application to use in sales presentations and for QA for the presentation layer. Replaying the captured application does not need the server side code base of the project and can be zipped up and sent to be checked. In order to use this feature you should add <Directory Code="Capture" Path="Resources\Capture" /> and <Directory Code="Replay" Path="Resources\Capture" /> to the directories section of the Visual WebGui configuration section and add the folder [Project Root]\Resources\Capture.
Capturing is done by adding the Capture prefix to a Visual WebGui page name and adding a name query string parameter named name.
Example:
If you have an http://localhost/MyProject/Form1.wgx URL that you want to capture you should enter this URL http://localhost/MyProject/Capture.Form1.wgx?name=MyCapture. This will capture the application into a directory named MyCapture under the capture directory.
Replaying is done by using the Replay prefix with a query string parameter named name. The Visual WebGui server will replay from a directory under the cache directory with the same name as the name parameter.
Example:
Replaying the previous capture will require this URL: http://localhost/MyProject/Replay.Form1.wgx?name=MyCapture.
