Re: [SWTBot-users] question about SWTBotText.notifyKeyboardEvent(..)

[Ketan P. <ket...@gm...>]

Hi Phil,

This snippet perhaps? It worked on macosx for me.

private void traverse(Display d) {
	// tab ten times
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		d.post(tabDown());
		d.post(tabUp());
		try {
			Thread.sleep(100);
		} catch (InterruptedException niceTry) {
		}
	}
}

private Event tabDown() {
	Event event = new Event();
	event.type = SWT.KeyDown;
	event.keyCode = SWT.TAB;
	event.character = SWT.TAB;
	return event;
}

private Event tabUp() {
	Event event = new Event();
	event.type = SWT.KeyUp;
	event.keyCode = SWT.TAB;
	event.character = SWT.TAB;
	return event;
}
