How to check which Tabbed Component is currently active? [message #1408666] Fri, 15 August 2014 18:38 Go to next message

I have a test case wherein I want to click on a particular Tabbed Component, but only if that pane is not already the active one (receiving keyboard input). Unfortunately, using "Check Focus" on a Tabbed Component always seems to return false. In this case, it does not matter which tab is selected in the pane, I just want to check whether that pane contains the widget that currently has the input focus.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? I have also tried Get Property with the property "focusControl", but the result is the same: always false, regardless of what is selected.

Hi David,

Are you running the tests on a Mac? I have some recollection about check focos not working correctly for one of the toolkits (I think SWT/RCP) on a Mac.
At any rate - if you know the text / index of the tab you want selected, then you could use the actions "check selection of tab by value" or "... by index" to first check whether the tab you want is selected and, if not, select it with a retry event handler.

Hope that helps!
Alex

Hi Alex,
I'm running in 64-bit Linux.

I would do exactly what you're saying, but it doesn't work when the tab I'm looking for is the one selected in the pane I want, and the focus is in another pane. "Check Selection of Tab by Value" still returns "true" in that case.

Thank you though!

Thanks for the clarification David. I've not come across this kind of situation before - could you sketch / show what the situation looks like?

It's basically a normal Eclipse window, with several tabbed panes, each of which may have more than one tab in it. Using Ctrl-PageDown, I can navigate through whichever tab deck has the input focus.

I want to end up at Tab A, which is currently at the front of Pane B, but the input focus is in Pane C. So if I check to see if Tab A is selected, it will return "true", but Ctrl-PageDown will still cycle through Pane C instead of Pane B.

Now I get it Smile The tab you want selected is indeed selected. But the focus isn't in that pane so it doesn't help for your Ctrl+PageDown. My suggestion at this point would be to see if there is another component in the panes that you can use to gauge where the focus is - could that help?

Best regards,
Alex

Well, there are several components in each tab that might have the focus, and I execute this case much too frequently to want to brute-force it. At this point, I think the easiest way is just to go case-by-case and make sure that I explicitly click on the tab deck I want before navigating, and forget the focus check altogether. Smile Thank you!
