Clicking on menu Eclipse in Mac OSX [message #1470446]

Hi,

I managed already to click on the "File" menu, but it seems that menu "Eclipse", the one just next to the Apple icon, is not a typical menu.

This code doesn't work for this menu:

private static SWTWorkbenchBot bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();
bot.menu("Eclipse").menu("Preferences...").click();

Any idea how to access this menu ?

thanks,
Benoît

Theres no way to access the Application Menu using standard SWTBot API, i had tried to extend SWTBot to support the Application Menu but found a bug in the process.

To access the menu you need to call

Display display = ....
Menu appMenu = display.getSystemMenu()

You will be using the set widget directly, so will need to synchronise with the ui thread.

Thanks a lot Andrew for the hint !

For sake of completeness, below the full code which worked in my case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
final IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
workbench.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
IWorkbenchWindow window = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
if (window != null) {
Menu appMenu = workbench.getDisplay().getSystemMenu();
for (MenuItem item : appMenu.getItems()) {
if (item.getText().startsWith("Preferences")) {
Event event = new Event();
event.time = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
event.widget = item;
event.display = workbench.getDisplay();
item.setSelection(true);
item.notifyListeners(SWT.Selection, event);
break;
}
}
}
}
});
