I'm currently trying to create some automated tests for my Drag and Drop extension feature but I'm running into problems when attempting to do my 'copy' (i.e. CTRL down while drag) tests. I set the keystate as follows: event.stateMask = ctrlDown ? SWT.CTRL : 0; where 'ctrlDown' is a boolean which is true if I want to fake a ctrl-drag. This keystate doesn't seem to make it back into my widget (it always seems to end up with '0' for posted events).
Did you try posting a key event to simulate a control key pressed (rather than setting the mouse flags)? This is what the user would do. Please reopen if this doesn't WORKFORYOU.

Steve, I've done both...if I'm trying to fake a ctrl-drag then I place the mouse events between two calls to (my clone of) the AutomatonUtil.performKeyCode method; one for key down and one for key up... --------- if (ctrlDown) performKeyCodeEvent(srcControl.getDisplay(), SWT.KeyDown, SWT.CTRL); --------- I took a look at the Display.post impl and don't see any place where the Event.stateMask is handled. In fact, I don't even see the (x,y) coords being placed into the message unless the event is SWT.MouseMove...this might explain why I have to make 'setCursorLocation' calls before posting (which I can live with so didn't mention). The current implementation of the mouse handling (while it does match the javadocs) is a fair ways from being capable of simulating a user's actions (which is its stated goal). By preference I'd have the code to pass on as much of the 'event' context as possible in the posted message. At minimum I need the 'keyState' or I have to drop the whole automation exercise...(and I'm highly in favor of automated testing...;-).
