Renaming a node in a tree [message #515686]

Hi -

As the topic suggests, I have a tree node which expects the user to type in a new name, but I have not been able to find a suitable method for setting the text to a new value.

Is this possible? If so--and I hope it is--what method should I use.

The node is the child of a child, like:

Parent
|
----- Child
        |
        -----Child
               |
               -----Please Rename Me!

Any assistance is appreciated!

Cheers,
Paul

Surely there should be some kind of text box active... I don't know of
any way to "rename" a tree node in SWT. My bet would be something like
bot.text().setText("text");

If there isn't any text box active because you have some funky SWT stuff
happening that I don't know of, my second bet would be
KeyboardFactory.getDefaultKeyboard(widget, description).typeText("text");

Hell, another way might even be this, but I don't think it's exactly
what you want:
asyncExec(new VoidResult()
{
public void run()
{
treeItem.widget.setText("test");
}
});

Hope this helps.

Actually, it was a big help.

I'm new to SWTBot and am not a Java programmer, so I'm encountering a fairly steep learning curve. On the bright side, however, SWTBot seems to be capable of doing much of want I want to automate.

Good way to end the work week!

Thanks,
Paul

I suppose you'll need to doubleclick on the element and type stuff in a
textbox that pops up.

There's a similar test case for an editable table, you're probably
looking for something similar.
