Improvements to tutorial screenshot taking (#3153)

* Add functionality to save screenshots in pause for screenshot form * Remove uncessary space changes * Add auto screenshot mode * Undo massive changes in form editing * Update save screenshot to use a checkbox * Update location of checkbox * Implement graph screenshots, form targetting, dia tutorial, and preview feature * - fixes and extensions based automating screenshots for AbsoluteQuantTutorialTest and MethodEditTutorialTest * - fixes for targets view clipping and statement completion * - update screenshots for English MethodEdit based on test changes * - add one extra pixel to ClipSelectionStatus to capture statusbar border * - more fixes to PauseAndContinueForm and SkylineTester * - fixes to MethodRefinementTutorialTest to get it to work with auto-screenshot mode - fixes to auto-screenshot mode - removed an unused using clause * - fixed MethodRefinementTutorialTest figure 13 to avoid spectrum graph overlap * - updated MethodRefine tutorial screenshot images * - checkpoint commit for TestGroupedStudies1Tutorial screenshots * Checkpoint commit for ExistingExperimentsTutorial. Update screenshots of graphs, trees, and 2 others that should have included the main window.# * - more fixes to GroupedStudies1TutorialTest * - more fixes for GroupedStudies1TutorialTest * - switch GroupedStudies1Views to .data directory from .zip file * Add controls to preview form. Run pause/preview forms in new thread * Hide preview window while taking screenshot, fix focus/activation of window * * Support trimming horizontal whitespace from SequenceTree * Execute screenshot processing delegates on the active window's UI thread * Prevent test framework from setting icon on dialogs that aren't resizable - ex: PeptideSettingsUI Tests run: Screenshots appear as expected in ExistingExperiementsTutorialTest and MethodEditTutorialTest * Switch ExistingExperimentsViews to .data directory from .zip file * Fix timing issues with preview form. Fix PauseAndContinueForm to come to front. Fix Thread exception in ScreenshotManager * - more fixes for TestGroupedStudies1Tutorial - added TestFunctional.ForceMzmlInScreenShots property to force using mzML in screenshot mode * - more screenshot fixes for TestGroupedStudies1Tutorial * - add red arrow annotations to 3 figures in TestGroupedStudies1Tutorial * - added utility function to show a left arrow cursor on a screenshot - currently unused - fixed TestFunction.ClipTargets to use TreeNodeMS.BoundsMS for right-side white space clipping - fixed ScreenshotPreviewForm to detect errors saving and show a message box - especially when the PNG file is locked - fixed y-scale on GroupedStudies s-95 fold-change bar graph * - add support for docking window drag-drop screenshots * * Change PeptideSettingsUI to support selecting a library by name * Fix Existing Experiments Tutorial to select correct library - fixes screenshot 1 * Update ExistingExperimentsTutorial screenshots. * - fixed non-screenshot mode for GroupedStudies1TutorialTest * - try telling Git that .view and .sky are text file types * - remove .view files accidentally added as binary * - add back .view files hopefully as text * - attempted fixes to get TeamCity closer to passing - exception handling added to PauseAndContinueForm during file save * - remove old view files for 4 tutorials * - add back .view files as UTF-8 BOM and UTF-16 to UTF-8 converter * - have Utf16to8 update the XML text from UTF-16 to UTF-8 * - removed use of async and await in favor of cleaner thread use - improved screenshot form activation to hide selection and cursor in TextBoxes - reduced 3 second wait for automated screenshots to 1 second - fixd closing ScreenshotPreviewForm to always activate PauseAndContinueForm - moved Utf16to8 .view file converter from scripts into Skyline/Executables/DevTools - cleaned up Interop use moving control related methods into FormUtil * - removed unnecessary InteropServices using clauses * - add disk failure icon * Revert the line in .gitattributes saying that .view files are text because that messes up on files which are UTF-8. (also, revert the lines about .sky and .skyl because they're not necessary) * Improved thread handling and usability of preview form * * Update TestMSMS tutorial. Screenshot #20 was manually generated using data not available to the test and is a placeholder for now. Will add data and update the test in a future checkin. * Add processShot helper in TestFunctional to mark a bitmap as a "placeholder". * Add resizing of images to fit panel if auto size is disabled * Fix two peak area graph screenshot calls inadvertently reverted during code review this morning. * Add ability to skip to future screenshot * Convert TargetedMSMS tutorials from .zip to .view files. Convert .views from UTF-16 to UTF-8 BOM. * Convert CustomReportsTutorial from .zip to .view files. Convert .view files from UTF-16 to UTF-8 BOM. Tests run: used TestRunner to make sure tutorial runs from start-to-end * - clean up IsRecordMode us and PauseAndContinueForm use in record mode - improve ScreenshotPreviewForm to clarify thread use and encapsulation and add progress UI - clean up PauseAndContinueForm and ScreenshotManager to better localize responsibilities and clarify API use * - fix simple PauseTest() cases for NREs and form layout * - remove missing using clause from TargetedMsmsTutorialTest * Fix scaling bug. Make preview form not move if on separate screen * Fix continue loading next screenshot when it doesn't exist --------- Co-authored-by: brendanx67 <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Eddie O'Neil <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Brendan MacLean <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Brendan MacLean <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Nicholas Shulman <[email protected]>
