How to select specfic List item from dropdown and Comobox

Hi Vijay,

I modified the code to fit into my script but still its not working..

The execution log says "ABC Select from Drop Down List" But in reality it does not click on it.

Please check the below code:

Sub test

Dim ObjName, propNames, propValues

ObjName, propNames, propValues

propNames = Array("ObjectType", "ObjectIdentifier")

propValues = Array("DropDownList","DropDownList591")

set ListObject=ObjName.FindChild(PropNames,PropValues, 9)

ListObject.Click

ItemText="ABC" 

Set dataProvider=ListObject.FlexObject.dataProvider 

log.Message dataProvider

log.Message dataProvider.length

found = False

For i = 0 To dataProvider.length 

If dataProvider.source.item(i).name=ItemText Then

ItemIndexByText = i

log.Message ItemIndexByText

ListObject.FlexObject.ensureIndexIsVisible(ItemIndexByText)

delay 2000

found = True

Exit For

End If

Next

If Not found Then

Log.Error "DropDownList item """ & ItemText & """ was not found."

'Exit Sub

End If

 Set app =ListObject.Parent

Do Until app.ObjectType ="Scroller"

Set app = app.Parent

Loop

' Find the list item object by text

propNames = Array("ObjectType", "ObjectIdentifier")

propValues = Array("DropDownList","DropDownList591")

Set item =app.FindChild(propNames, propValues, 4) 

If item.Exists Then

item.Click

Log.message ItemText& "Select form Drop down list"

Else

Log.message ItemText& "Was not Select form Drop down list"

End If

end sub



Thanks,

Hi Vijay,



As I wrote in my reply to your other question, currently, TestComplete doesn't support Flex 4.6, therefore we cannot guarantee total compatibility with Flex 4.6 applications. However, it may work just fine if there are no breaking changes from Flex 4.5.

unable get dropdown object propertys and propertys values.

You can get the number of items in Flex combo box and list box controls using the ItemCount property and get the item text using the Item(Index) property. See the attached screenshot.

How can i select specific DropDown list by passing parameter.

That's what the combo box item selection code in your example does, that is, it calls the ClickItem method of the combo box object and passes the item text as a parameter:

Call navigatorContent.bordercontainerBordercontainer43.comboboxListsearchfields.ClickItem("REFID")

As for the Spark DropDownList control, currently, it's not fully supported by TestComplete, that's why item selection is recorded as coordinate clicks. To automate this control, you can use its native methods and properties that are accessible in tests via the FlexObject property. You can manually insert the needed properties and methods into your tests as shown in the following article:

Enhancing Flash and Flex Automated Tests with Native Object Methods in TestComplete 8.50



For example, to select a DropDown list item by index, you can use the following function:

' Selects an item in Spark DropDownList control

' Parameters:

'  ListObject - a Spark DropDownList object

'  ItemText - the text of the item to select

Sub ClickDropDownListItem(ListObject, ItemText)

  Dim dataProvider, i, found, app, propNames, propValues, item



  ' Check if the drop-down list contains the specified item

  Set dataProvider = ListObject.FlexObject.dataProvider

  found = False

  For i = 0 To dataProvider.length

    If dataProvider.item(i).label = ItemText Then

      found = True

      Exit For

    End If

  Next



  If Not found Then

    Log.Error "DropDownList item """ & ItemText & """ was not found."

    Exit Sub

  End If



  ' Open the drop-down list

  ListObject.Click



  Set app = ListObject.Parent

  Do Until app.ObjectType = "Object"

    Set app = app.Parent

  Loop



  ' Find the list item object by text 

  propNames  = Array("ObjectType", "Caption")

  propValues = Array("ListItem", ItemText)

  Set item = app.FindChild(propNames, propValues, 5)



  If item.Exists Then

    item.Click

  Else

    Log.Error "DropDownList item """ & ItemText & """ was not found."

  End If

End Sub

To use this function in your script, replace these lines:

Call navigatorContent.dropdownlistDropdownlist429.Click(74, 9)

Call vobject.group0.scrollerScroller871.listitemDefaultitemrenderer901.Click(60, 12)

with the following ones:

Dim dropDownList

Set dropDownList = navigatorContent.dropdownlistDropdownlist429

ClickDropDownListItem(dropDownList, "Item Text")

Hope this helps.

Hi

Hi 



Helen Kosova ,



Sorry.my application developed in Flex 4.5.







Thanks,



Vijay

Hi Vijay,



I'm afraid your question is not quite clear. If you are having problems with the script, please describe them in detail. What exactly happens and how is it different from your expected results? What errors are you getting if any?

Hi,

Helen Kosova



Following u r instructions and  u r given example  script by using that i can able to select specfic item from  combo boxes, dropdown lists.i dont understand below code .please give me code explanation and wht is the need of below code.



 Set app = ListObject.Parent

  Do Until app.ObjectType = "Object"

    Set app = app.Parent

  Loop



Thank u,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,



Glad to hear the script worked fine for you!



As for the snippet you asked about:

' Go up the object hierarchy until the common parent object

Set app = ListObject.Parent

Do Until app.ObjectType = "Object"

  Set app = app.Parent

Loop



' Find the list item object by text

propNames  = Array("ObjectType", "Caption")

propValues = Array("ListItem", ItemText)

Set item = app.FindChild(propNames, propValues, 5)

This code essentially locates a drop-down list item (the item object) in a Spark DropDownList control (the ListObject object).

The thing is that in the object hierarchy, drop-down list items aren't child objects of the DropDownList control itself — they are child objects of the main Flex application. So, the script first goes up the object hierarchy until it finds the Flex application's root object — an object with the ObjectType property equal to Object. After that, it uses FindChild to search for the list item object by its text.



Let me know if you need anymore clarifications.

Hi Helen ,



I understand u r clarifications.thank u very much.

Vijay

Hi Helen,



By using above script example i can able to Click specific Drop down list item .Iam using Flex injector Method to identifying Flex  application.

 Problem is it's taking nearly 3 minutes time  to click dropdown list item. why it's taking 3 minutes to click dropdown item?







Regards,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,



Try decreasing the FindChild search depth from 5 to, say, 2:

Set item = app.FindChild(propNames, propValues, 2)

Does this help speed up the test actions?
