ComboBox and ListItem

Post by mashrino1 » Thu Apr 07, 2016 5:32 am

Hi,

For combo box without moving the mouse is it possible to select a value. Could you please help me on this.

Thank you very much for your support. :D

Hi,

Could you please explain in more details what exactly you want to achieve? Also, please answer the following questions:

What kind of technology is your AUT (desktop, mobile, web,...)?
What is your Ranorex version?
Please post a sample application/html page and Ranorex snapshot of the combobox in question.

  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)

Hi,

I'm afraid, there is still not enough info. Please post at least a Ranorex snapshot of the problematic element. An example app would be even better. Also, I don't understand why do you want to select a combo box item without moving the mouse? Because this is completely against "do-it-like-real-user" philosophy. What exactly do you want to achieve (post use case or test scenario)?

Pavel,

This may be the old "drop-down in a browser" issue. Each browser presents the drop-down differently, so using a mouse action may not be the best way to handle it because there is usually no element that Ranorex can actually find.
Shortcuts usually aren't...
