Right, it's more like a search field, as you start to type in recommended list of class codes displays in drop down, but if keyed in value i need to select the class from the list. that's the only way. i've tried your method, it does key in the value but doesn't get set. i've attached a screen shot
thanks
In that case, using the Keys method, add [Enter] at the end of the string. This will send the Enter keystroke to the field after typing in the value. I'm assuming that will, effectively, select the item.
Alternative: Take another look at the methods available on the control. If it's a "Select" type web component or similar control, there may be a "ClickItem" method on it that might simplify things. If not, I think the Enter key method will work.
Thanks, a lot. but that didn't help, can you please provide an example, see my attachment
thanks
Change to this:
sPage.Form("form1").Panel("UpdWindow").Table(0).Cell(1, 1).Frame("UpdWindow").Form("form1").Panel(2).Panel("content").Table("conForm_mainTbl").Cell(1, 1).Panel("ClassCd").Table(0).Cell(0, 0).Textbox("Input").Keys("2157 - Bottling All Ops & Rte Superv Drivers[Enter]")where the Enter is part of the actual key entry in the input field. Let me know if this works.
tried, doesn't work. behavior is if i start typing and enter 2157 i've the option available to choose,, then i just need to click from the option available. not sure how to do it in script level,,,,,
