programmatically clicking combo-box button in swt

How to cause the click/ selection event in SWT through code ? without the user actually clicking the control, the event should be fired !! is it possible?

I need to automate the clicking of a combo box button and the dropping down of the list and the selection of the item - as done by the user!! i.e., playback of the recorded events. Which listener do i need to use ? i tried selection but couldn't get the results.

combo.setText(combo.getItem(combo.getSelectionIndex()));

If you want to simulate the user interactions for testing purpose, try windowstester. It also has recording feature where you can record the ui activities and just run it over the test...

You can simulate a selection event with something like:

Event event = new Event();

event.widget = combo;
event.type = SWT.Selection;

combo.getDisplay().post(event);

You might need to set other fields in Event
