eValid -- eValid Programmatic Interface (EPI) -- Example Program #02
eValid Home

Example Program #02
This is a lengthier C++ program that illustrates simple navigation as well as retrieval of the specific index within a page. In addition, the eValid EPI program and the script also note the elapsed time up to a particular point in the playback. Also, during the programmatic playback the program interrogates the playback log after each command execution.
