I am a Visual FoxPro and Visual Test programmer. It is very difficult to test
the VFP GUI because it uses "painted controls". As a result Visual Test can
only recognize the main window/form and not the objects contained within it
(buttons edit boxes etc). Therefore you must resort to PLAY statements which
direct mouse clicks at XY coordinates.
It is difficult to find a testing tool for the VFP GUI.
