[SOLVED] Swing control interaction [message #1468954]

Hi Everybody,
I'm investigating the RCPTT to test my RCP application. In my project, I have some swing components inside swt control. I used record feature of RCPTT but seem that it doesn't know swing.
Does anybody know how can I touch those swing controls via ECL? or any possible way? Can I use custom ECL to do this?

Hi Nam,

Overall, RCPTT is not aware about Swing at all and unfortunately at the moment we have no plans in adding support for it. By writing custom ECL commands, basically it is possible to do everything you can do in Java code, so I think you should be able to interact with Swing controls via API too.

As a 'bridge' between RCPTT commands and your custom commands you might find useful commands like "get-object" and "invoke", to minimize the amount of logic in your custom commands. For example, if a swing is embedded inside some group, you can do something like this to pass a reference to SWT group composite

get-editor "Foo" | get-group "My group"  | get-object // use RCPTT selection commands and "extract" SWT object from result 
   | your-command-to-find-swing-button  // your custom command to find embedded swing in SWT control and to find an element in swing frame
   | invoke doClick // call Swing API method via reflection

Just curious, how much Swing UI do you have embedded into SWT and how much do you need to interact with it?

Thank you, Ivan Inozemtsev
I have a lot of swing controls like text area, text field, buttons, combobox, dialog... but I don't know yet how much deep I might touch. Now I know one ability to get the swing components in RCPTT. Thanks

Hi,
I have an swt button when we click on button a new window will popup. this window is swing window.

how can I get this swing window object using get-object?
because when I click on swt button after clicking rcptt doesn't recognize swing window.

please give a sample example using get-object & invoke to get swing component. its very helpful for all.
