Hello everybody.

I am wondering under what circumstances the focus command is generated
in a test macro. I always see it following an item-select command, but
not all item-select commands are followed by a focus one. Typically the
widgetId associated with the focus command is a Composite. Is this the
Composite underlying the widget (tree, list, etc.) in which the
selection is made?

TIA
B.

After a little playing around, I concluded that the Composite in the
focus command is the highest level composite, f.i. in a View, it is the
Composite that is passed into the view's createPartControl() method.
Is this accurate?

I still have the question about the circumstances under which the focus
command is generated though...

Thanks,
B.

You're right, the composite is the high level composite that contains the
underlying widget.
In the majority of cases, you actually don't need a focus command and I have
put in some code to try to avoid producing unneeded focus commands. Some
test cases, of course are dependent on a container to first be given focused
(e.g. giving the console view focus before using position based recording to
send user input). The majority of focus commands are generated when
explicitly a view/editor is given focus or an item is selected while the
view/editor is unfocused.
