WinX Engine 3.0

Use the WinX Engine 3.0 to scan and steer applications that utilize the Windows UI API. This includes user interfaces created with C++/MFC, Visual Basic 6.0, and Powerbuilder 2017 or earlier.

Installation

The WinX Engine 3.0 is part of the Tricentis Tosca standard installation.

For information on software versions and hardware requirements, see the system requirements.

Get started

For information on how to work with the WinX Engine 3.0, see the following chapters:

• "Create WinX Modules"

• "Steer WinX Engine 3.0 controls"

Switch Powerbuilder versions

When you create WinX Modules, you can choose the technical property ClassName to uniquely identify a Powerbuilder window. The resulting Module gets a specific value for the Module property ClassName:

• Powerbuilder 2017, 2019, or 2021: FNWND3170

• Powerbuilder 2022: FNWND3

If you have tests for Powerbuilder 2017, 2019, or 2021 where you identify the window by ClassName, you must adapt your Modules if you upgrade to Powerbuilder 2022. If you don't, Tosca can't find the right window.

To make sure you can run your tests on Powerbuilder 2022, change the ClassName property value to FNWND3 in all Modules you use for your Powerbuilder tests.
