Version 1.19#

May 26, 2022

A new release of Sherpa Designer: version 1.19

Key changes and new features:

  1. New properties "Click Simulation" and "Input Simulation" have been added to the "Mouse Click" and "Press Keys" blocks. They allow emulating these blocks using messages and do not require direct mouse and keyboard interaction.
  2. In each block, an expression can be specified for a breakpoint. If the computed value of the expression evaluates to "True" ($true) during debugging, the execution will stop at that block.
    To specify an expression, press Ctrl+B or select "Specify Expression for Breakpoint" from the block's context menu.
  3. IntelliSense can be used in the command line of the Console panel in Designer. To do this, press Ctrl+Space after the entered dot (e.g., "$test.") or after a colon (for static methods and enumerations, e.g., "[string]::"). This will display the type of the method or property.
  4. A "Container" block has been added. It allows collapsing content. The content refers to blocks that flow from the current one through the lower connector. For proper operation, the blocks within this container must end with an "End" block. After the internal blocks finish executing, a transition will occur through the "Exit" connector.
  5. In the "Get Text" block of the browser palette, the ability to retrieve the value of any attribute has been added. You can specify the name of the attribute.
  6. Horizontal "infinite" scrolling has been added. To enable this while scrolling, hold down the Shift key.
