Is there a way to print .seq files the way they are shown in the Steps: window?

Is there a way to print/store to file .seq source listings the way they show in the Steps: Window?

Tools -> sequence documentation prints the .seq files out in a completely different format.  I've tried Windows Snipping Tool with mixed success.

Googling this topic has produced little.

Thanks

I use SnagIt.  Unfortunately you need a license for it:

Do you just need the step names or the icons as well?  It would be really easy to make a tool to grab all the step names and list them.

snagIt certainly looks promising.

Just how could one grab the step names.  That is not immediately obvious.

Thanks

If the goal is to capture a "scrolling screen" I use this https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX it`s free and I think it does a pretty decent work. It has some other useful functions.

I threw this together real quick to demonstrate how to do it.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow.  That seems advanced. It fails with "The selected sequence file does not contain a sequence named MainSequence." when I try to run it.  I have to admit I'm a newbie at this.  Is this supposed to prompt me for a .seq file, or is it trying to open some default file that I don't have that is causing failure.

Your time is much appreciated.

I'd like to capture something that could be saved, then printed out as documentation for a .seq file.  This certainly is a way to record it.  Thanks for the suggestion.

It's because you are trying to run it with your process model.  Just right click on the GetStepNames sequence and select Run GetStepNames. 

Yes it prompts for a sequence file.

Ideally you would make this a tool and just analyze the sequence file they had opened.  However, I did it this way just to demonstrate what was possible without forcing you to go through the tool creation process.

Thanks again!

This is quite nice.   Now I see how to run it.

Clearly I have much more to learn about Teststand.
