I'm writing a test app which simulates key presses and I would like to get what window is displayed after each key presses. Here's the code block. 

std::auto_ptr<MyForm> pForm(new MyForm(3,3)); 
QTest::keyPress(pForm.get(), Qt::Key_0);

After pressing 0 here, A window is gonna show up and I would like to check what window it is so I could QCompare/evaluate it later.

Any Ideas?

Updated:

I'm getting a segmentation fault when I use 

std::auto_ptr<MyForm> pForm(new MyForm(3,3)); 
QTest::keyPress(pForm.get(), Qt::Key_0); 
QWidget *pWin = QApplication::activeWindow();
QCOMPARE(pWin->windowTitle(), QString("My Second Menu"));

If all your windows have been created through your application, you can use the QApplication class. By example, the activeWindow() function returns the widget that have the input focus. But there's a lot of other functions that can help you.

Hope that helps

  • I'm getting a segmentation fault though. I might be doing something wrong... I updated the code block above... :( – Owen Nov 18 '10 at 10:45

    As explain in the documentation, the return pointer can be null if no window has the input focus. This can happened where widow has no keyboard input widget. Try to add a QTextEdit in your test windows. – Patrice Bernassola Nov 18 '10 at 10:51
  • The problem is, the window that appears after each key press is a Form with a Menu... I can't just add a qtextedit or just modify the application that I need to test... :( . Is there any other way to get the pointer of the currently active window? – Owen Nov 19 '10 at 02:38

    Is it because there isn't really any activated window when you're just simulating? – Owen Nov 19 '10 at 07:46
  • An active window is a window that has the keyboard input focus. Try to set focus to the window or menu before calling activeWindow(). – Patrice Bernassola Nov 19 '10 at 08:51
