Hi Jyoti,

If you are running your application from Eclipse, you can add the SWTBot Spy plug-in (org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.spy) to your Run Configuration. You would need to either import that plug-in to your workspace or add it to your .target file. It is part of the "SWTBot IDE Features" feature (org.eclipse.swtbot.ide).

If that doesn't work for you but you can modify your application code for testing, you could just add the following code somewhere (that runs once in the main thread):

        Display.getDefault().addFilter(SWT.MouseHover, new Listener() {
            @Override
            public void handleEvent(Event event) {
                System.out.println(event);
            }
        });

It's possible that your application is using a non-standard widget that is not supported by SWTBot (for example a Nebula custom widget that is composed of standard SWT widgets). In that case you would have to use the standard SWT widget in your SWTBot code, but sometimes that is not possible if the custom widget overrides default widget behavior. See this thread for example.

And Display has two useful methods to get the control with focus (getFocusControl()) and the control currently under the cursor (getCursorControl()).
