Easiest way to verify members of a List/Combobox - Hbomb624 - 07-23-2008

In my application, I have a combobox with 8 items. I know what the 8 items should be. Currently I am using GetROProperty("all items") and then looping through the array to verify that the 8 listed match the 8 I know should be there. Is there a better way to do this?

I was trying to implement what you said for the appln http://www.flyairdeccan.net/. Was trying to retrieve the values of "From" Select box
Cnt = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetROProperty("items count")
wait(3)
Dim FromCities(Cnt)
For i = 0 to Cnt -1
FromCities(i) = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetItem(i)
msgbox (FromCities(i))
Next

It gives me two errors
Error for the Line#

Code:
Dim FromCities(Cnt)

Expected integer Constant

Error for the Line#

Code:
FromCities(i) = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetItem(i)

The statement contains one or more invalid function arguments

Can you pls let me know where i am doing wrong

I would try it this way:

Code:
Dim FromCities()

ReDim FromCities(Cnt-1)

For i = 0 to Cnt - 1

FromCities(i) = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetItem(i)

msgbox FromCities(i)

Next

You cannot dimension an array with a variable, you have to ReDim it.

Thank you for the explanation.I got it now. But getting the same error for the line below

Code:
FromCities(i) = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetItem(i)

The statement contains one or more invalid function arguments

Any idea why this error is coming, i checked the syntax too...

RE: Easiest way to verify members of a List/Combobox - Hbomb624 - 07-23-2008

you can try

Code:
set FromCities(i) = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetItem(i)

or
check that GetItem is available for a Weblist...

RE: Easiest way to verify members of a List/Combobox - quickmy - 07-23-2008

Its giving the same error when i use set
I even checked the GetItem method of weblist from the help, they gave an example too

Code:
Sub GetItem_Example() 

'The following example uses the GetItem method to display the 

'value of the first item in the list. 

MsgBox Browser("Fill-Out Form").Page("Fill-Out Form").WebList("what-to-do").GetItem(1) 

End Sub

No idea why its giving the error.

RE: Easiest way to verify members of a List/Combobox - Hbomb624 - 07-23-2008

Code:
FromCities = browser("Deccan").Page("Deccan").WebList("ctlAvailCriteria_cboOrigin").GetROProperty("all items")

NewArray = Split(FromCities,";")

For a = 0 to ubound(newArray)

     msgbox newArray(a)

Next

This is how I am doing it now. I would like to NOT use a loop...

Thank you, this worked out.
But just let me know if you figure out what i was doing wrong in my logic.
