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

[Hans S. <han...@ya...>]

I think there should be two modes for setting text. The simple one is to use the setText(...) method directly (inside SWTBot of course).

The other one are keypress events for each letter which needs to be set as text.

A commercial tool had a recording option to either record all the keypress events when text is input or to use the much simpler setText(...) command.

Hey Ketan,

Thanks for this.  On the surface it does work but it has (for me) the 
unfortunate side effect that my running test needs to have keyboard focus. 
Ideally, I'd like not to have to require this.  Since this is really part
of a 
bigger theme, I've picked up on it in a separate thread (re: Background 
Exceution).  I look forward to your thoughts!
