Problem with ActiveX/changing text

[toe76]

I am new to the position at this company and have been asked to review QTP scripts. I'm not overly familiar but I can make my way through. We are working on QTP 9.2.

I have the following line:

Code:

VbWindow("MDIMain").VbWindow("frmStartup").VbWindow("frmStatePick").ActiveX("St_Select").Object.Text = DataTable("State", dtLocalSheet)

Basically, the window is a second popup asking for the user to select the state where business is to be written.

What I'm finding is that it is recording a coordinate (Click 65,111) which is never consistant from 1 record to the next. So the only option I have is to use the Object.Text functionality - but this is causing problems because sometimes it will return the error "Property is read only" - which I know its open - I can SEE that's its ok. It will run through one test case fine, but the next will give there error.

My biggest question is can I get away with using something than Object.Text? Of course, any suggestions are welcome!

If ActiveX("St_Select") is a dropdown with multiple options in it to select, then try using;

PHP Code:

Select"#<item index>" 


The index count starts from 0.

I tried running it selecting on the index number of the value in the box and it returned an error that the object doesn't support his property or method: 'Select'
