Selecting a value from a Dropdown - qtpbeginner78 - 06-06-2013
Hi All,
I have this dropdown which is having the name of occupations. (long list)
When i try to select a value manualy i have to click the dropdown twice to load the items. On the first click, it will display an empty list. (please see the screenshot)
After sometimes it loads the items in the list. I tried to automate this in QTP. But QTP cannot select a value from it.
Any suggestions? Appreciate your help.
Thank you

A crude way, but may work.
Code:
i=0
Do
oItems = browser().page().weblist().GetROProperty("items count")
If oItems <> 0 then
browser().page().weblist().click
browser().page().weblist().select(4)
Exit Do
End If
wait 1
i=i+1
Loop Until oItems <> 0 or i>20RE: Selecting a value from a Dropdown - qtpbeginner78 - 06-06-2013

What happens when you execute? What is the issue you face? Does it wait till it loads?

Hi,
Yes it loop through till the count is greater than 20. Issue is it will not click the the dropdown and return the item count.

Manually, how long does it take for the dropdown to bring up the items? I mean average secs or minutes?

Hi,
Just couple of seconds, say 5. On the first click it loads the empty list and on the second click it loads the items in like 5 seconds. I have no idea why it doesnt click at runtime.

Ok, Try this,
Code:
i=0
Do
browser().page().weblist().Click
oItems = browser().page().weblist().GetROProperty("items count")
If oItems <> 0 then
browser().page().weblist().click
browser().page().weblist().select(4)
Exit Do
End If
wait 1
i=i+1
Loop Until oItems <> 0 or i>20RE: Selecting a value from a Dropdown - qtpbeginner78 - 06-07-2013

As you said "When i try to select a value manualy i have to click the dropdown twice to load the items."
why can't you try to click twice thru QTP only
