setMouseTracking

setMouseTracking(className, onOrOff)

This function can be used in init files to disable or enable the recording of MouseMove events for certain widget classes. The class to disable or enable mouse tracking for is specified by the className parameter. Pass an onOrOff parameter value of true to enable mouse tracking or of false to disable mouse tracking. (By default mouse tracking is off.)

Wrapper-Specific Initialization

The init files are Tcl scripts that are registered with the squishrunner and then read before starting any tests. The registration process is explained in Configuring squishrunner. Although init files must be written in Tcl, this does not affect the scripting language used for test suites, which may be in any of the scripting languages that Squish supports.

We can have as many init scripts as we like for each GUI toolkit or we can put all the initialization statements in a single Tcl script per toolkit. However many init scripts we use, they must all be registered with the squishrunner.

Example

setMouseTracking ScribbleArea true

This sets mouse tracking on for an AUT's custom ScribbleArea class.

To make this work, we must tell Squish to execute a file that contains this Tcl script at startup when it is used to test a Qt-based AUT:

squishrunner --config addInitScript Qt /home/harri/qt_init1.tcl

An absolute path must be used.
