Hello all,
i am quite new to SWTBot. I implemented custom properties sheet and i want to test them.
But i don't know how to click on a tab so that the properties sections get displayed.
Can someone tell me how to do that with SWTBot?
I use Eclipse 4.2 on Windows.

Many thanks
Junior

Hi,

I created some code that clicks on a properties tab with a given name. For this I copied some SWTBot code for clicking into this class http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/melanie/source/browse/de.uni_mannheim.informatik.swt.mlm.tests.core.ui/src/de/uni_mannheim/informatik/swt/mlm/tests/core/ui/SWTUtilsEx.java

and created a method which takes a String and clicks on the tab. You can find the method selectTabbedProperiesPage(final String name, final SWTBot bot) here: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/melanie/source/browse/de.uni_mannheim.informatik.swt.mlm.tests.core.ui/src/de/uni_mannheim/informatik/swt/mlm/tests/core/ui/GMFTestUtil.java

Hope this helps you!

Ralph

Do you mean you're using a MultiTab property view like this one:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/b/b1/Jwt_we_multitabproperties_addtab.gif
? If yes, this concept is not (yet) supported by SWTBot. You should open
a feature request for it and suggest a patch. As an
implementation/workaround, you should rely on underlying JFace code in a
UIThreadRunnable. See what BonitaSoft guys did as an example (beware,
it's GPL, so act accordingly)
http://www.bonitasoft.org/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=Bonita+Open+Solution&path=%2Fbonita-studio%2Ftags%2Fbonita-studio-5.8%2Ftests%2Forg.bonitasoft.studio.diagram.test%2Fsrc%2Forg%2Fbonitasoft%2Fstudio%2Fdiagram%2Ftest%2FSWTBotTestUtil.java

If your request is just about enabling an open View, then use bot.view
and then activate() or select() or enable() or setFocus() or any method
whose name seems to do what you expect ;)
