Using Ctrl+A
The Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut is often the most effective way to select everything in a widget to perform some operation, be it to select everything in a list view to perform an operation or to select everything in a text box to type a replacement. In general, keyboard shortcuts can be an expedient way to test functionality. Here are a couple of examples for Ctrl+A:
Setting a Text Box value
#Incredibly straightforward, will work on anything with a text area that accepts standard keyboard shortcuts<br />def setTextBoxValue(boxName, value):<br /> type(waitForObject(boxName), "<Ctrl+A&gt;")<br /> type(waitForObject(boxName), "value&quot;)
#Incredibly straightforward, will work on anything with a text area that accepts standard keyboard shortcuts<br />def setTextBoxValue(boxName, value):<br /> type(waitForObject(boxName), "<Ctrl+A&gt;")<br /> type(waitForObject(boxName), "value&quot;)
Selecting All Items in a List
#Works with most QAbstractItemView types e.g. QListView
def selectAll(viewName):
#select the first item
model = waitForObject(viewName).view.model()
clickItem(viewName, model.data(model.index(0,0)))
def selectAll(viewName):
#select the first item
model = waitForObject(viewName).view.model()
clickItem(viewName, model.data(model.index(0,0)))
