file.FileWriterLauncherGui

This publisher is very similar to the FileWriterLauncher publisher and also allows writing a file and then launching a process. However, this publisher will close the application by sending a WM_CLOSE message to the main window. This allows the process to properly shutdown and will better allow triggering of memory corruption issues then simply killing the application.

<Publisher class="file.FileWriterLauncherGui">
  <Param name="fileName" value="peach.bin" />
  <Param name="windowName" value="Notepad" />
</Publisher>

Parameters:

fileName -- Name of file to write [required]
windowName -- Partial name of the application window [required]

Supported Actions:

Example:

<DataModel name="TestTemplate">
    <String value="Hello World!" />
</DataModel>

<!-- A template to hold the filename -->
<DataModel name="FileName">
    <String isStatic="true" value="fuzzfile.bin" />
</DataModel>

<!-- Define a simple state machine that will write the file and 
    then launch a program using the FileWriterLauncher publisher -->
<StateMachine name="State" initialState="Initial">
    <State name="Initial">
        <!-- Write out contents of file -->
        <Action name="WriteFile" type="output">
            <DataModel ref="TestTemplate" />
        </Action>
        
        <!-- Close file -->
        <Action type="close" />
        
        <!-- Launch the file consumer -->
        <Action type="call" method="c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe">
            <Param type="in" name="filename">
                <DataModel ref="FileName"/>
            </Param>
        </Action>
    </State>
