QTP: WebEdit : How to check if values in list are disabled.

[katdean]

I am testing a form, where I randomly pick the value in a webedit box "address type".

Some values are disabled (greyed out) depending on what the user already has. (See attached for sample)

I am trying to find out how I can check if a value in the list is disabled because it seems that I am able to select the value even though it's disabled. This will cause a problem when saving the record.

Code below where i select the value randomly for the webedit box:

Code:

AddressTypeArray = Browser("Address: New - Microsoft").Page("Address: New - Microsoft").Frame("Frame").WebList("addresstypecode").GetROProperty ("all items")
CountAddressTypeArray= Browser("Address: New - Microsoft").Page("Address: New - Microsoft").Frame("Frame").WebList("addresstypecode").GetROProperty("items count")

Randomize
    AddressType = vbNo
    AddressTypeArray=Split(AddressTypeArray, ";")
    AddressType = RandomNumber (0,CountAddressTypeArray-1)
Wait 2
Browser("Address: New - Microsoft").Page("Address: New - Microsoft").Frame("Frame").WebList("addresstypecode").Select AddressTypeArray (AddressType)

Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I am new to QTP, how do I 'spy on' the list?
Can you give me a sample?

Anyway i tried some rough dirty code,hope some expert will you give clean solution.

Code:

txt=browser("browser").page("page").weblist("select").getroproperty("innerhtml")
arr=split(txt,"</OPTION>")
set disabled_items=createobject("system.collections.arraylist")
for each i in arr
    if instr(1,i,"disabled")<>0 then
       disabled_items.add mid(i,instr(1,i,">")+1,len(i))
        end if
next

ai=browser("browser").page("page").weblist("select").getroproperty("all items")
set all_items=createobject("system.collections.arraylist")
ar=split(ai,";")
for each i in ar
    all_items.add i
next

for each i in disabled_items
    all_items.remove (i)
next

cnt = all_items.count
randomize
myvalue = int(cnt * rnd)

browser("browser").page("page").weblist("select").select(all_items(myvalue))

set disabled_items=nothing
set all_items=nothing
