Description

Does the backend or something matter for ImGui to work in this case? I want to somehow run Imgui tests using Google test but in an integration way where the real application is not running but I am calling Imgui to render the UI and then automatically clicking buttons etc and checking the results.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying the intended Google Test integration, backend requirements, and application lifecycle; done would mean a defined, supported way to render ImGui, simulate clicks, and verify results without running the real application.
