How to insert text into a text editor tab of a multipage editor? [message #540285]

Hi,

I have a multi page editor consisting of AbstractDecoratedTextEditor, StructuredTextEditor pages.
I want to insert text content in each of these tabs.

SWTBotEditor activeEditor = bot.activeEditor();
activeEditor.toTextEditor().setText("Sample text");

The above code snippet inserts text into the editor in the last tab. Is there a way to insert text in each of the tabs individually?

Best Regards,
Ashitha.

Multipage editors are not supported out of the box. You'll need to
activate a particular page of the multipage editor before getting the
styled text. editor.toTextEditor() will just get the last styledtext in
the multipage editor.

Here's what may work for you:

editor = bot.activeEditor();
editorBot = editor.bot();
editorBot.cTabItem("Page Title").activate();
textEditor = editorBot.styledText();
textEditor.setText("Whatever");
