Generic function for object containing search and drop down

I do have some issue with object spy . Whenever I select the object to display the drop down list and do Object spy then drop down list get closed . So cannot recognize 

What class of object is it? What properties does it have?  While we can see the GUI layer of the rendered object, it doesn't do us much good to be able to give you a generic function without more detail about what kind of object it is.

I don't think we need an object spy of the drop down list for starters.  However, we do need the properties of the actual search control so we can help you write the code for it.

What is the exact requirement? The approach would be a function where you are passing "itemName" which would be present in the dropdown list.

What you have to do is Click on the search box so that dropdown comes and use the clickitem method to click on an item which is present in the dropdown.

Hi,

As part of creating generic function for this kind of control, you can create function like below,

function searchandClickDropDown(dropDownMainobject,valuetoSearch,valuetoSelect)
{
      //dropDownMainobject is the object which will have the dropdown list with text box.
      var txt_box_proparr = new Array("<mentione your property name to find textbox>");
      var txt_box_valarr = new Array("<mentione your property value to find textbox>");
      
      var lst_proparr = new Array("<mentione your property name to find drop down object>");
      var lst_valarr = new Array("<mentione your property value to find drop down object>");
      
      if(dropDownMainobject.Exists)
      {
            var txtObject = dropDownMainobject.FindChild(txt_box_proparr,txt_box_valarr);
            var lstObject = dropDownMainobject.FindChild(lst_proparr,lst_valarr);
            
            dropDownMainobject.Click();//To display the drop down.
            
            txtObject.Keys(valuetoSearch);
            
            if(lstObject.wItemCount > 0)
            {
                  lstObject.ClickItem(valuetoSelect);
                  return true;
            } 
                 
      } 
      return false;
}
