    Hi!

     

    It's a bit strange that listobj.ClickItem(2) does not work for you. It seems that scrollIntoView in this case might be still scrolling when TestComplete is performing ClickItem which causes TC to miss. You can try to put a little delay between the calls (Delay(1000) for instance) and see if it helps.

     

    Another way to perform a scroll within a panel is to use its scrollLeft / scrollTop properties. See HTML DOM scrollTop Property. Be aware that you will be scrolling a content of the panel not the panel itself.

     

    Hope this helps,

Hi,

 

It depends on the app you are testing. For web testing, you can use the scrollIntoView method, for instance.

I tried using scrollIntoView method and able to scroll in panel but its not very convinient way to scroll.

One challange I am facing in selecting list when I write below code:

 

listobj.scrollIntoView(false)

listobj.ClickItem(2)

 

list not selecting but if I directly point to that list it selects 2nd object of list. I need to write script in such a way that I must scroll above first then select list. Please suggest.

        Thanks for your help . Your solution helps me a lot. Actually , problem is while scrolling within a panel cursor was not moving thats why not able to select item from list. Also, delay also required because there is some mismatch of time when scroll done and object needs to select from list. I wrote below code and it worked for me .

         

        obj.scrollIntoView(false)
        x = C11.scrollLeft
        y = C11.scrollTop
        ret = SetCursorPos(x, y)

        delay(1000)
        obj.ClickItem(5)

         

        Thanks a lot. Really Appreciated!!
