Best way how to test if something is on the scree

[Peter]

Hi Alex and the rest :)

I want to test if some components are showing on screen for example:

If user can see error message if log in fails(JDialog in my case)
If user see certain components when he log in successfully.

Right now I use look up which throws exception if component is not
found. This seem like little overkill :).

Take care and thx for FEST.

Hi Peter,

The only thing I can think for now is regular component lookup, which
you are using now.

It would be nice if have something like:

isShowing("someId", JTextField.class) which can return true/false

If this is something you're looking for, please a file a bug :)

Cheers,
-Alex
