All Implemented Interfaces:

com.attachmate.nav.engine.ICustomNavStep, IPerformanceTool

public abstract class VTBaseCustomNavStep

extends BaseCustomNavStep

Custom Steps Only
This class is the base for custom VT steps. It supplies the helper classes IQAScreen and ITaskData as fields granting the user access to both Screen and Task data.

The developer will need to subclass this abtract class and define the match(), processData() and getTransitionAction()methods to perform the custom actions needed.

NOTE:Since IQAScreen.sendKeys() doesn't have access to the recorded screen metrics, it will not perform at the same level of performance as the normal NavProcedure. It is highly recommended to only write custom steps when the normal NavProcedure does not work in order to maximize performance.
