Tosca Wizard menu

The Tosca Wizard menu bar is dynamically structured and its contents are available to users depending on the context they are working in.

In chapter "Scan classic Modules with Legacy Scan" we show you how to create Modules with Tosca Wizard.

After one page of the test object has been scanned with Tosca Wizard, a connection is established between this page and Tosca Wizard. This connection is terminated if the user navigates to another page. All the information that is already contained in Tosca Wizard can be freely edited and saved.

Tosca Wizard allows the XML code of individual controls to be read out via the option Copy.

A property must therefore be selected in the Control Properties tab. The name and the value range of this property are copied to the Windows clipboard. Alternatively you can also perform a double-click (see also chapter "Copying values to the clipboard")

Example: innerHTML property

.innerHTML=<tbody>

<tr><td style="white-space: nowrap;" dir="ltr" id="gs_ttc0"></td>

<td id="gs_tti0" class="gsib_a"><div style="position: relative;" id="gs_lc0"><input style='background: url("data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAID/AMDAwAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAO
