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.
