Cant Access Errormessage [message #517810]

HI
i´m trying to test a rcp-application, there are two types of a messageshell(which is not extending shell, it´s not even extending anything). if the info-messagebox(with an ok-button) occurs i can still access it and close it by click the button automatically, but if the errormessage occurs the swtbot seems to wait for something. even the included timeout is reacting untill i close the message manually. how can i acces such a "non"-widget?
i already learned here in the forum the function "allOf(widgetOfType())..." but this seems not to be a widget
can anyone help me here?
thnx

EDIT:
ok, now to the strange thing-> if the same errormessage occurs at another point of the program , i can close it, bot.activeShell is then:"
Shell with text {Shell {Could not delete ent...}}" .. but it is only another instance of the same messageshell

This looks like a thread issue to me... if the SWTBot timeout does not
trigger, then it means that the thread SWTBot runs on is waiting for the
UI thread for some reason. May be a syncExec(), or it may be some kind
of lock, or it may even be that you are accessing something in the
SWTBot thread that should be accessed in the UI thread. Whichever it is,
it's a non-trivial matter. Just make sure that if you want to access
something in the UI thread you are using asyncExec, or syncExec if you
care about the returned value. Other then that, I can't really help you
without more details...

You can't. If your "widget" is not in the widget hierarchy then you
can't access it. In the same way you can't access JFace objects...
probably that your "errormessage" class contains some SWT widget, which
you can access. If there is a pop-up, then there is definitely a Shell
somewhere.

Hope this helps.
