ClickItem does not work in IE9

Hi,



I record a new keyword test that select an item in listbox. Recording seems to work fine and all steps are accounted for. But when I try to play it back the following error message is displayed in the error log: "Cannot activate the "<name of item in list>" item". TestComplete finds the list fine, but cannot activate the list item during playback.



I also tried using SelectItem. But that gave the same error.



What is wrong here? This was not a problem in IE8.



I am using TC 8.5 in Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9.



Thank you for any help on this matter.

    Hi Allen



    I am unable to send you an example at this moment. I managed to solve the error by scripting the step and setting the property 'SelectedIndex' on the listbox.

    Hi again



    Once more with the ClickItem.



    Recorded a test where I click an item in a dropdown. (IE9) Everything records ok but when I playback the test it just says 'Cannot perform the ClickItem operation'. Wow, an extremely helpful error message, dont you think? This time I really need to simulate a user clicking as there are events triggered on the page.



    What causes this? Problems just keep stacking up when using IE9.
