Hello,<br>
<br>
I started out trying dogtail, which seemed extremely slow. I'm now<br>
trying to tackle using ldtp for my testing.</blockquote><div><br>Nice to know that :) <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
What I haven't figured out yet is how to get a dump of the widget<br>
hierarchy. I see how I can use the editor tool to get the application<br>
to reveal the names of it's menu buttons and dialogs. Now I want to<br>
discover the name of the table in the file selection tool, but since<br>
it's not something I directly interact with in the app, I can't use the<br>
editor to discover it's name.</blockquote><div><br>You can use getobjectlist ('<Window name>') <br><br>More info available here <a href="http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/getobjectlist.html">http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/getobjectlist.html</a><br>

In dogtail they had some code that'd walk the tree by querying for each<br>
'node's children. What do I do in ldtp?</blockquote><div><br>We have more than 150 ready made API's and most of them are documented here <a href="http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/index.html">http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/index.html</a> <br>

Lastly, how can I help? I've been developing in C since '82, in C++<br>
since '87 and in Python since 2004. I've developed python bindings and<br>
have a very good grasp of their 'ways'.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><br>That will be awesome. We are moving the framework from C to python. We need lots of help in this area. Also, if you could populate the widget hierarchy info inside LDTP Editor in LDTP format will be nice :)<br>
