Question about Form section with windowtester

[scshah]

I have been trying to recognize section(org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Section). Below is my code

Object objFound = null;
SWTWidgetLocator widget=new SWTWidgetLocator(org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Section.class);
IWidgetLocator[] Items= ui.findAll(widget);

for (IWidgetLocator loc : Items) {
objFound = ((IWidgetReference)loc).getWidget();
System.out.println("mywidget: " + objFound;}

Now my problem is that I got Section (mywidget: Section {}) as result, but it doesn't print name of section, How do I get it and iterate controls inside it? Can please somebody help me out?

Thanks

Could you get this from the section's getText() or getDescription() method? Note, you need to be sure to call this on the UI thread...

How about something like this?

Code: Select all

static String getText(final Section section) {
   final String[] text = new String[1];
   Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
         text[0] = section.getText(); //or try getDescription();
      }
   });
   return text[0];
}

Have you tried the SectionLocator for this? It should be able to find sections with specified text... For instance:

Code: Select all

IWidgetLocator[] Items= ui.findAll(new SectionLocator(myText));


Hope this helps!

Hi Phil,

Thanks a lot for your help.Now I can get section name.

Now I am facing other problem. I tried to get all controls under section.My section has text and lable. I can get section, text and label with following code.

SWTWidgetLocator widget=new SWTWidgetLocator(Label.class); (Same for text)

but I want to verify that those controls and text are under particular section. So I tried below code:

SWTWidgetLocator widget=new SWTWidgetLocator(Label.class,new SWTWidgetLocator(Composite.class,new SWTWidgetLocator(org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Section.class,"Java Details")));

But i found no widget. so what's wrong in it? Or what code should I use?

So as conclusion, I am able to get controls individually, but I want to verify that those are under their particular section I think hierarchy is like section->composite->text/label. so can you please guide me?

Thanks a lot again.

[Phil Quitslund]

Interesting... The locator looks good at first glance. Have you tried recording against the section labels? What happens if you click them in a recording session do they get found?

(I'm guessing not.)

And what about this variation?:

Code: Select all

new SWTWidgetLocator(Label.class,new SWTWidgetLocator(Composite.class, new SectionLocator("Java Details"));

[scshah]

Yes Phil, You are right. I am not able to record it.

For this variation
new SWTWidgetLocator(Label.class,new SWTWidgetLocator(Composite.class, new SectionLocator("mysection"));

I can not able to get SectionLocator.. It's under com.windowtester.runtime.swt.locator? I am able to get other locators under this, but not sectionlocator. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

[Phil Quitslund]

Have you tried a recent beta? SectionLocator was added since the last official release...

Sorry for the confusion!

[scshah]

Thanks Phil, I will try for that, but inbetween can you please give more details about Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {}), I read it in windowtester but still not much clear about it.

[Phil Quitslund]

You need to be careful to only access widget state on the UI thread and that call ensures it. For a bit more, see this FAQ entry:

Hi Phil,

I tried ->new SWTWidgetLocator(Label.class,new SWTWidgetLocator(Composite.class, new SectionLocator("mysection")); but it's not working.
I also tried below :
SWTWidgetLocator widget=new SWTWidgetLocator(org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Section.class);
IWidgetLocator[] treeItem= ui.findAll(widget);

//
for (IWidgetLocator loc : treeItem) {
objFound = ((IWidgetReference)loc).getWidget();
System.out.println("children" + objFound);
getText(objFound);
}

public static void getText(final Object obj) {

final String[] text = new String[1];
Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Control[] c1= ((org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Section)obj).getChildren();
for (Control c: c1)
{//so i get below
Twistie {}
Label {"section name"}
LayoutComposite {}

if (c.getClass()==org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Twistie.class)
{
Control[] c2= ((org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Twistie)c).getChildren();
for (Control c3:c2)
{
System.out.println("Section twist part " + c3);
}
}
}
}
});
}
If i tried Twistie, I get nothing. so what should I do now? what part contain controls from Twistie and layoutcomposite?

[scshah]

Hi Phil,

Below is heirarchy where text and label are in section:

[Section {}<HC|11831314>]->(invisible)
[Twistie {}<HC|5341750>]->(invisible)
[Label {"section name"}<HC|20700084>]->(invisible)
[LayoutComposite {}<HC|13975680>]->(invisible)
[GPropertyGroup {}<HC|8231970>]->(invisible)
[Label {Label name}<HC|9800920>]->(invisible)
[Text {}<HC|5358717>]->(invisible)

but somehow i cant access Layoutcompoiste? can you please guid me?

[Phil Quitslund]

Aha... It appears that those widgets are invisible. Only *visible* widgets are accessible. Do they "look" visible? Perhaps that part of the form needs to be revealed?

[scshah]

Hi Phil, yes they are visible.. even section is also visible. I can see it while i run it.. and this section is expandable

[Phil Quitslund]

Hmmmm... We'll need to dig a bit deeper.

Could you submit a bug report?:
