Problem in selecting multiple items in the weblist

[vijay44]

Hi,
I have a weblist, i need to select multiple items in the weblist.
Manually i can do in the application by pressing shift key.

i am using the below code

Code:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        oPage.WebList("name:=operatingSystems").Click
        WshShell.SendKeys "{SHIFT}"
Browser("browser").page("page").WebList("name:=operatingSystems").Select datatable.Value("OperatingSystems",oSheetName)
    set WshShell = Nothing

The above code does not work. it does not select multiple items.
The datasheet column:operating system has values
windows and imac.

but the above code selects only windows, how to select multiple items.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards;
vijay

is this the same issue in your earlier thread?

use 'ExtendSelect' method of weblist to select multiple items.

@Everyone - Please use proper formatting while posting. use tags to wrap your codes which makes it more readable.

Hi,

Code:

Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 1
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 2
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 3

this is the way you can select multiple options in List by using
--- ExtendSelect ---

U can use select for the first case followed by extend select for the remaining extra selection of the objects.

Code:

Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").Select 1
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 2
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 3

Correct me if wrong

Hi sshukla,

what ever u said above is correct and it wont be problem even if u use ExtendSelect

both the ways are correct

Code:

Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 1
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 2
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 3

or

Code:

Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").Select 1
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 2
Browser("Home").Page("Home").Frame("I1").WebList("lbSelColumns").ExtendSelect 3

Ya its correct. it will work fine in both the ways.
But using select first followed by extend select is a better programing approach.

Correct me if wrong.
