Sending CTRL + F10 to a SWTBotEclipseEditor [message #20049]

Hello,

Is there a way to send a Ctrl + F10 keyboard event via a
SWTBotEclipseEditor? I see the notifyKeyboardEvent() methods but I do
not need to send a character which those methods require as an argument.
I only need to send a particular keyboard event.

In my case I am actually trying to open the context menu of the vertical
ruler in a source editor.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi,

>Is there a way to send a Ctrl + F10 keyboard event via a SWTBotEclipseEditor?

Not directly an answer but this helped me from time to time:

Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F10);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F10);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

Would be interested in a better way, too.

Michael - who can luckily post over his bugzilla-account since news are
not allowed on my side:-) Thanks for this service!

Joe,

Here's the event that's generated. Based on this I suppose you'll need
to call: notifyKeyboardEvent(SWT.CTRL, 0, SWT.F10);

protected Event keyEvent(int modificationKey, char c, int keyCode) {
Event keyEvent = createEvent();
keyEvent.stateMask = modificationKey;
keyEvent.character = c;
keyEvent.keyCode = keyCode;
return keyEvent;
}

Thanks, that was very close. I actually had to call:
notifyKeyboardEvent(SWT.CTRL, (char)0, SWT.F10); as '0' wasn't accepted
as a character.

I seem to be having issues interacting with the context menu that is
displayed after sending that keyboard event. I may post again about that
if I don't find a solution quickly.

Thanks again,
Joe
