Re: [SWTBot-users] How to find menu in a view

[Somesh S. <som...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,
if you can't use the bot directly to find a widget, you can use the
ControlFinder or the ChildControlFinder, set a breakpoint, debug and look
for anything unique that you can use to identify it. You can then get that
widget, cast it if need be and use it. Sometimes this needs to be done in
the UI thread so you can use the UIThreadRunnable

Take a look at the rcp test code. it show you how to use the control finder.

UIThreadRunnable is pretty straight forward too. it's just a wrapper for
running anything in the display and provides some utility runnables.

hope this helps
Somesh
