How to enter a value in a particular text field

[Sunil]

Hi,
I have a form editor which has 5 text fileds (ex: name, phone, city,
state, country) and I need to enter some value into it. When I record
using windows tester i get something like below and works fine.
....
ui.enterText("sunil");
ui.keyClick(WT.TAB);
ui.enterText("00723");
ui.keyClick(WT.TAB);
ui.enterText("bangalore");
ui.keyClick(WT.TAB);
ui.enterText("Karnataka");
ui.keyClick(WT.TAB);
ui.enterText("India");
....

Assume that I just want to enter the value for City? How do i do that?
How will I identify text field with its name?

One way is to just tab the first 2 inputs fields without entering any
data and then enter the value in city field. Howver i feel this is not
a proper way. I believe there should be a way in windows tester to
accomplish this which i'm not able to figure out.

Your support is highly appreciated.

Cheers, Sunil

Sunil,

You can make use of a LabeledLocator or LabeledTextLocator - a locator that looks for a widget right next to the specified label, or if these don't work, you can always name the text fields and use the NamedWidgetLocator.

Take a look at the documentation 

http://code.google.com/javadevtools/wintester/html/reference/javadoc/com/windowtester/runtime/swt/locator/LabeledTextLocator.html

Hi Sunil,

Depending on how you have created the Label, you should be able to use
some form of locator to click on the widget. Then you can enter text.

For example, if you have a text field preceded by a label:
_____________
City : |_____________|

You could use a LabeledTextLocator:

ui.click(new LabeledTextLocator("City : "));
ui.enterText("My City Name");

If you have multiple labels with "City : ", then you will have to
reference the parent of the LabeledText in your LabeledTextLocator
constructor.

Thanks for the Support Keerti and M.
LabeledTextLocator worked like a charm.

Hi,

I am able to Record and Play ContactManagerRPC Application which is provided by Window Tester Pro Team, but I dont know the steps for Recording and Playing my own Java Swing Application.

Thanks in advance.

Certainly the best way to get a reply is to post to every thread you see. I think you missed one though, which is why nobody is replying to you.

Kind regards
