TestComplete saves the KeyUp, KeyDown, MouseUp, MouseDown, MouseMove and MouseWheel events during low-level recording.
KeyDown
The KeyDown event occurs when a user presses a key on the keyboard. The KeyDown event uses the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Virtual Code | Specifies a virtual key code, for example, VK_RETURN, VK_F1, etc. |
| Delay | Specifies duration of the KeyDown event in milliseconds. |
KeyUp
The KeyUp event occurs when a user releases a key on the keyboard. KeyUp uses the same parameters as KeyDown.
MouseDown
The MouseDown event occurs when a user presses a mouse button. This event uses the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| X, Y | Specify a point of a mouse click in screen or window coordinates. Integer values. The type of coordinates (screen or window) depends on the procedure type selected by the user for recording. |
| Button | Specifies a pressed mouse button. Possible values are Left, Right, Middle, X-Button1, X-Button2. |
| Delay | Specifies duration of the MouseDown event in milliseconds. |
MouseUp
The MouseUp event occurs when a user releases a mouse button. This event uses the same parameters as MouseDown.
MouseMove
The MouseMove event occurs when a user moves the mouse. This event uses the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| X, Y | Specify the new mouse position in screen or window coordinates. Integer values. The type of coordinates (screen or window) depends on the procedure type selected by the user for recording. |
| Delay | Specifies duration of the MouseMove event in milliseconds. |
MouseWheel
The MouseWheel event occurs when a user turns the mouse wheel. The event uses the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Delta | Specifies the distance the mouse wheel was rotated. One mouse detent is defined by the value 120, so the Delta value is a multiple of 120: 120, 240, 360 and so on. A positive value means that the wheel was rotated forward (away from the user); a negative value means that the wheel was rotated backward (toward the user). |
| Delay | Specifies duration of the MouseWheel event in milliseconds. |
You can edit recorded events and insert new ones in the Low-Level Procedure editor. For more information on this, see Editing Low-Level Procedures.
