Drop Down Selection Issue


Hi SmartBear Team

I am Using Test complete in Windows desktop application, in this application i have many drop down and grid controls and i am facing couple of issues.
1) while recording the project I used script method and selected one value from the drop down, when i do play back i want to choose another option from the drop down, but here its taking the co-ordinates(Position values) so i can't give the drop down options names directly, also its not displaying ClickItem() method, Only the Click(),ClickR() and ClickM() Methods are available. please give me valuable feedback ASAP.

2)While recording the application i have entered values in the Grid one by one from top to bottom, but on play back its not re-entering the values. Value get filled only for the first cell after it moved to next one and shows object doesn't exists error.

please tell me how to overcome these two problems.

    Does the cboAsset object display the ClickItem method?

    If it does then try editing the line to

    Call layoutControl.TabControlAccounts.tabBasicInfo.BasicInfoLayoutControl.cboAsset.ClickItem("Item name")


    Then you can remove the next line using co-ordinates

    Call invMetrics_Paris.PopupLookupEditForm.Click(34, 40)

    You could also focus the control, use the up/down keys and check the .SelectedItem property.
