Harvesting and Comparing Screenshots of menus and dialog boxes

Hi:

We are a software company. Our product (Dialogue) is very expansive
with lots of menus, dialog boxes, etc in the GUI. We use unstructured
FM 7.2.

Every time we have a new release, undoubtedly some (or many) of the
software's menus and dialog boxes change due to enhancements. This
requires us to identify these changes (somehow) and re-do any
screenshots in our documentation and training materials.

Is anyone aware of a tool that can go through an application and
harvest screenshots of all menus and dialog boxes? Then, would it be
able to compare screenshots of the last version to indicate where
changes have occurred on the GUI?

Any suggestions or resources would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Loren

Well, you could post in a topical newsgroup.

I posted this issue a while back (over a year ago?) but thought I would take another crack at it. I have one user out of about 250 where my app's custom menu bar does not work on any of the drop-down menu items. I have four drop-down menus in the menu bar along with a half dozen or so other top level buttons. The top-level items all work perfectly, but all of the drop-downs display a single option labeled "Other". Something on this...

Hello, from inside a button handler, I am launching a dialog box that contains lables and text boxes. The dialog box is launched using dlg.Show(). In this situation the contents of the text boxes are visible but not the contents of the label. They become visible only after the button handler returns. If the dialog box is launched as dlg.ShowDialog() than everything is visible

Okay, here's the situation: we want to be able to display ASPX pages in an UpdatePanel. The reasons for this are performance related. The site in development uses *lots* of modal popups from some pages, and we don't want to load all that content until it's requested. So, what we want to do is place an IFRAME inside an UpdatePanel and, in the onclick event for the linkbutton or button control, set the SRC so that the content is loaded on...
