The setItem function does not work with drop down list

Hi,



i use TestComplete 8.10 and Internet Explorer 8. I try to record a keyword test which fills a web form with a select element (drop down list / combo box). The recorded keyword test does not select the recorded item during test execution. If i change the setItem to selectedItem('index'), the correct item will be selected. But i need the select by name function "setItem". How can i use the function or is there any alternative?



Thanks

    I am not sure but you can try with property SelectedItem("ItemName") instead of SelectedItem(index).

    Hello Hendrik,



    Use ClickItem to select a particular item by its caption. The ClickItem action accepts both indexes and captions. Does this help?

    Hi Allen,



    the ClickItem function does not work. During execution the selected entry is not changed. Additionally there are no errors or exceptions.



    Any proposal is welcome!



    Thanks
