I agree the handle is unique, but the problem is that is not consistent
between runs. So it makes it a bit hard to get the testing tool to grab a
hold of something.
For example, Visual Basic has a "vbname" property (probably submitted via
setProp) and the form sets that property to the variable name. What I'd like
to see is a way to use setData (maybe with a special "SWT_WIN32_" prefix on
the key name of some sort) to have the widget automatically call setProp for
me. That way I stay cross-platform and get some properties called
"SWT_WIN32_myPropName" that I can use on a native UI testing tool to obtain
the consistency I need.
So my proposal for the future would be to maybe put something in
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.setData(key,value) such as:
public void setData (String key, Object value) {
checkWidget();
if (key == null) error (SWT.ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT);
// Win32 specific - set special property names.
if ( key.startsWith("SWT_WIN32_") ) {
// Of course, write a setProp wrapper and call it.
OS.setProp(key, (String)value);
}
//... continue the normal setData...
Then I could just add a method to set the QA test info via setData() for the
stuff that matters on my swt layout code.
Something like this would allow me to keep the same source across my
Linux/MacOS/Win32 builds and at the same time run the test scripts on Win32.
The best of both worlds, with just a bit of extra swt-win32 specific code.
Thanks for the info on the props stuff though. :-)
