	On ~~Windwos~~ it is possible to capture low level window events. Through these it is possible for a capturing tool to launch the AUT and then install a hook to receive all input events. This should also be the case for Unix although it is not checked yet.		On Windows it is possible to capture low level window events.

	If event capturing is implemented into Vision2 it could be used to generate bug reports for EiffelStudio ~~from users~~ by sending in their event sequence. Of course it remains to check how large an event sequence gets after some time of using EiffelStudio.

			==Approaches==

			There are different approaches for capturing GUI events:

			===Low Level Hooks===

			On Windwos it is possible to capture low level window events. Through these it is possible for a capturing tool to launch the AUT and then install a hook to receive all input events. This should also be the case for Unix although it is not checked yet.

			;Pro
			* Capturing tool and AUT are separate
			* Can capture events from any application
			;Contra
			* Only receive low level events. No information about focus-changing for example.
			* Unclear how to receive additional information about AUT like current active widget or widget name of clicked widgets

			===Eiffel Level Hooks===

			For Vision2 we could implement a ''capturing mode''. When this mode is activated, all events - including focus-chaning events or other higher level events - could be exported to a file. The implementation would mainly be done in the underlying toolkit (WEL and GTK implementation).

			;Pro
			* Capturing of all events
			* Additional information is available (e.g. widget name)
			;Contra
			* Activating capturing is part of the AUT
			* Only Vision2 can be captured
