FAQPage Schema
How do I automate HEC-RAS GUI exploration to document menus and dialogs?

Automate HEC-RAS GUI exploration using win32com to enumerate menus, dialogs, and controls systematically. Launch HEC-RAS, traverse its window hierarchy, and extract control metadata to generate documentation artifacts for automation development.

Can I capture screenshots of HEC-RAS dialogs for documentation?

Yes. Use Pillow and pywin32 to capture screenshots of HEC-RAS windows and dialogs programmatically. This produces visual references for training, onboarding, and GUI automation script development.

What do I need to run HEC-RAS GUI automation on Windows?

You need Windows hosting, HEC-RAS installed, accessible project files, and Python dependencies: pywin32 for win32com automation and Pillow for screenshot capture. These satisfy environment requirements for window discovery and control enumeration.

How do I discover menu structures and controls in HEC-RAS programmatically?

Use win32 automation via pywin32 to enumerate menus, dialogs, and controls in HEC-RAS. The Skill performs window discovery and menu mapping to understand automation opportunities and document dialog details.

When should I use GUI automation instead of manual HEC-RAS exploration?

Use GUI automation when you need to systematically document unfamiliar dialogs, capture screenshots at scale, generate artifact-ready control specifications, or develop robust automation scripts that require deep interface knowledge.

Does this work with different HEC-RAS versions or Windows environments?

The Skill applies across Windows environments where HEC-RAS is installed. Win32com automation is platform-agnostic across Windows versions, though specific menu structures and controls may vary by HEC-RAS release.
