Java AWT/Swing Support

Silk Test Classic provides built-in support for testing applications or applets that use the Java AWT/Swing controls. When you configure an application or applet that uses Java AWT/Swing, Silk Test Classic automatically provides support for testing standard AWT/Swing controls.

Note: You can also test Java SWT controls embedded in Java AWT/Swing applications or applets as well as Java AWT/Swing controls embedded in Java SWT applications.

Note: Image click recording is not supported for applications or applets that use the Java AWT/Swing controls.

For a complete list of the controls available for Java AWT/Swing testing, see Java AWT andSwing Class Reference.

4Test methods use a 1-based indexing scheme, where the first indexed value is stored in position 1. Native Java methods use a 0-based indexing scheme, where the first indexed value is stored in position 0. This incompatibility can create challenges in coding test scripts that access indexed values using both native methods and 4Test methods.
