Simulate Action Event or button pushed

[sarahsnathan]

I am doing unit testing for a gui - white box unfortunately, and i was wondering if anyone knows of code that is hardcoded to push a button in the gui.

I know it is possible but not sure how.

anyhelp would be greatly appreciated thanks

Assuming you are using a JButton, simply call the "doClick()" method on it. Details here (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/swing/AbstractButton.html#doClick()).

You could also check out the Robot class in the API. Not sure that is what your looking for but you never know.

There's an interesting article over on objectmentor.com on unit testing and dialog box-style GUIs. It may not apply to you, but it's worth a read. It's called "The Humble Dialog Box" or something like that.
