I have been trying to use the enter key on a text box but somehow i can never get it working.I dont have any errors but it does not click enter.

Situation is I have a text box and i need to fill in a text and click enter and only then i have items that load . I have been trying this code

setText(labelname, text, dialogtitle);
key.pressShortcut(SWT.CR,SWT.LF);

Could anyone help me out on how to get this working??

Here is the screenshot

Capture2.jpg index.php/fa/13151/0/

shows after clicking enter

I think you need to call pressShortcut on the Text control instead of a key, as you want to press a key while the text control has the focus. At least this is how I understand it.

Well, two questions on that, do you have the correct text reference? As it seems you like to get a Text control for a label, but you are using the method for searching a Text control for the specified text. Otherwise you should use textWithLabel() or something that fits your needs.

If you have the correct reference, than maybe you need to first set the focus to the control.

Hi,

Have you read this: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/14207/ ?

pressShortcut won't work because it sends events simultaneously, whereas
the ENTER key usually sends 2 successive events.

Maybe botText.typeText(KeyStroke.getInstance(SWT.CR) + " " +
KeyStroke.getInstance(SWT.LF), 0)
