Can't release Key anymore

[a.bitsche]

If i use ui.keyDown to press the SHIFT button (must use it for multiple selection) i can't release the button anymore.
ui.keyUp doesn't release the button.

What's the problem?

If you are using the click API, shift clicks can be accomplished like this:

ui.click("my.widget", SWT.BUTTON1 | SWT.SHIFT);

If this doesn't work, could you post the code you are trying to run?

Sample code

Code: Select all

// Make multiple selection
ui.keyDown(SWT.SHIFT);
ui.click("tree1", "Test/Item01");
ui.click("tree1", "Test/Item10");
ui.keyUp(SWT.SHIFT);

The SHIFT-button is still pressed after the ui.keyUp-method was called.
The method doesn't release the SHIFT-key properly.

If i append the following line to the above code it work's properly.

Code: Select all

ui.keyClick(SWT.SHIFT);

Interesting!

The following should work too:

Code: Select all

ui.click("tree1", "Test/Item01", SWT.BUTTON1 | SWT.SHIFT);
ui.click("tree1", "Test/Item10", SWT.BUTTON1 | SWT.SHIFT);

Glad that works (it's the expected way fo shift-clicking).

Thanks for the inquiries.
