Hi guys,

I'm having trouble validating values for a drop down menu inside a windows application and would really appreciate some help.

Here is what I am trying to do:

1. Open my application
2. Click on a drop down menu via left click
3. Validate that a specific drop down value has been selected

I'm using a recording to perform steps 1 and 2 but I can't validate the specific drop down value has been selected. When I choose "Validate" it automatically displays properties for the drop down control and not the menu (because I must left click on the drop down control). Once the drop down menu loses focus it auto hides.

Similarly when using the spy tool - it displays as soon as I left click so I can never get to see the properties for the values in the drop down menu

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction Many thanks

Just as I posted this I found the solution

Enable hot keys during recording, click on the drop down menu then use the hot key to enable validation whilst the menu is displayed. That will allow you to get at the options
