Ctrl-a key stroke is not simulated correctly

[keico]

Hi all,

I am trying to simulate the CTRL-A (Ctrl-a) key stroke in my test case by invoking the keyClick(int modifierMask, char c) method from the com.windowtester.runtime.IUIContext interface. Please refer to attached codes for more details. This key event does NOT get simulated correctly while the test is running. Does anyone ever encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

What is it you're trying to accomplish? In your example, if you need to select the text and delete it, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

ui.keyClick(WT.CTRL);
ui.keyClick(WT.END);
ui.keyClick(WT.DEL);

I use the example code to do some experiment in order to learn how the tool simulates the key strokes. To answer your question, yes I wanted to select the text and delete it; and your provided solution does solve the issue here. However, I have an swing app that supports several hot keys such as Ctrl-A, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-Shift-T, F1, ... I need to simulate these key in my test code. I have tried using something like the these but they did NOT work:

Code: Select all

ui.keyClick(WT.CTRL);
ui.keyClick('A');


Code: Select all

ui.keyClick(WT.CTRL);
ui.keyClick('F');


I was wondering if you could show us how to simulate these hot keys in the test code. I really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Unfortunately, those key combinations are not supported. If it doesn't work, it's probably not supported

We use ui.keyClick(WT.CTRL, 'a'); to simulate CTRL-A in Window Tester Pro 6.0 in Eclipse SWT tests without a problem.
