Using Key"[Down] Until particular object is found by its name.

Can any one help me with sample code how to Use Key"[Down]" Until particular object is found by its name and click enter on that particular object. clickItem Method is not available for the dropdown in our application.

In our Application we have a dropdown,the list will be changing dynamically.




Sub PayPlan


  Dim DeptName


  DeptName = "Operations"


  Set txtBoxDept = Aliases.txtBoxPayPlanSearch 


  txtBoxDept.keys(DeptName)


  txtBoxDept.Keys("[Down][Enter]")


End sub

      Hi Tanya,

    That object doesn't have that Items or selectedItem property/Method.

    See the attached screen shot for more information.

    Perhaps you can use a loop and

    If txtBoxDept.contentText = ExpectedName Then txtBoxDept.Keys("[Enter]")

    but you would also need to know the total number of items in the list to work out how many times to press the Down key before exiting the function if the item is not found.
