Hi,

This in fact is not a question. I had problem to find a button widget.
I found the solution and want to share it.
Maybe one day it will be usefull for someone.

Problem:
bot.button("xyz") was throwing NotFound exception

... but my "xyz" button was really in the app ...

I noticed that the button in my app was TOGGLE style.
I noticed that the button(string) function was looking only for PUSH style
button.

Therefore it would never find my button.
The solution is to make a matcher with just the string and class
constraints.

Hi,

Here is my code,
it clicks on the 0th button whatever its style.

Matcher matcher = WidgetMatcherFactory.widgetOfType(Button.class);
(new SWTBotButton((Button) bot.widget(matcher, 0))).click();

Here is swtbot.class code that shows the button-style constraint:
public SWTBotButton button(int index) {
Matcher matcher = allOf(widgetOfType(Button.class), withStyle(SWT.PUSH,
"SWT.PUSH"));
return new SWTBotButton((Button) widget(matcher, index));
}

Perhaps the javadoc could mention the SWT.PUSH constraint.

Bye
Marc
