There is a fundamental difference between the two menus. The view menus can be just looked up in the registry, which is what SWTBot does. For the case of context menus, things get much more difficult. The context menu is computed lazily by eclipse, everytime. This is a performance optimization trick that eclipse applies. This is why you'll not find a object that holds references to anything in SWTBot, it would be technically possible to do this, but your tests would become dead slow. SWTBot applies the same trick, all things are computed lazily when a user requests that s/he needs something, context menus are one of them. Also debugging how a context menu is popped up is a mind boggling experience, you'd probably end up stepping through thousands of lines of code that perform look ups in a variety of locations to decide which menu items appear, where they appear, what's the text that appears, etc. In most cases, you don't need to find the menu, you need a menu item (a menu is a container for menuitems). The menuitem text is what you should be passing in into the #contextMenu(menuItemText) api. -- Ketan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ SWTBot-users mailing list SWTBot-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/swtbot-users http://swtbot.org/ - a functional testing tool for SWT/Eclipse
