    Janis you can use ScrollToItem method instead of swiping. E.g. you have a menu item "Item_10" which is in the TableViewCell(0, 10). Use:

     

    TableView.ScrollToItem(0, 10)

    You can make a function to scroll through all items while searching for required element. Something like this:

     

    function selectFromDropdown(item) {

    index = 0;
    while (! item.Visible) {

        TableView.ScrollToItem(0, index);
        index ++;
        }
    item.Touch();
    }

Can you explain how your menu looks in the TC Object Browser?

Mobile.Device("Ipad2").Process("app13632").Window(0).TableView(4).ScrollView(0).TableViewCell(0, 0).Label("Item1")

 

Each menu item is wrapped in TableViewCell. All TableViewCell elements have different indexies.
