Hi everyone this is my first post on the mailing list so please bear with me. Currently i'm trying to create some tests for the qtquick menuba. For achieving this i need to create an ApplicationWindow and sending events to it. Currently the TestCase qml component sends all the events to the Test window. This obviously doesn't fit my use case. I investigated a little how to fix that: 1) Add a battery of overloads for the mouseClick and keyPress functions that take a QWindow* parameter. Pros: the current tests are not effected by the change and it's a more general approach (useful in some particular cases like mine). Cons: a new set of functions. In particular from the qml side we will have the pairs [keyPress, keyPressInWindow], [mouseClick, mouseClickInWindow] etc. 2) Make the TestCase send the events to the window where a particular item belongs. However this works with the functions that take a QQuickItem as a parameter (like mouseClick(item, x, y, ...) but not for keyPress(...) since it doesn't have a QQuickItem argument. The idea is to forward the key events to the currently active window (so the one that has the keyboard focus). Pros: no API bloat Cons: i implemented it and a lot of test cases broke. Basically most of them rely to the current TestCase behaviour to send events to the testcase window. This change broke some test where we have popups, like in the ComboBox tests. 3) Make a standalone C++ app for making such tests without touching the TestCase code. Pros: Current tests are not effected. Cons: Some code duplication. Furthermore, currently, most of classes inside the QtQuickControls plugin aren't exported so even if my app is linked to it i cannot use them. To be honest, i basically tried all the previous 3 options and if i'm the one to choose i would go with the option (1) since i don't want to break everyone's code. -- Filippo Cucchetto I’m probably missing something, but what’s wrong with extending the existing tst_menubar? http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtquickcontrols.git/tree/tests/auto/menubar/tst_menubar.cpp
