Selecting a value from combo box

Option1:-
Do a click on the list object and then click again by passing the text value of the list option. Last time i used such thing was with the previous version of Sikuli and it did not work consistently.

Option2:-
Click on the list object, perform key down, perform ENTER. Most of the times the selected value gets highlighted. You can copy it clipboard and compare for required selection text. Put the entire logic in a loop till required value is selected.

Dear Akbar,

Option 2 is fine, but there is some complexities :-

1) List is very large for validation

2) The highlighted or selected value is not coming to the clip board manually also.

Is the content of the list known and fix?

If yes, simply counting the KeyDown actions until a specified step value is reached might work.
The needed steps are evaluated before based on the known content and the target entry.

Possible to have a look at that on the net somewhere?

1) List is very large for validation - You can press the first letter of the required value and then do the looping logic.

What about the first option? Only other option i can think of is what Raiman has suggested.

Hi Akbar,

We can not type any thing in the combo box. Only Up and Down Arrows are working.

Hai RaiMan,

List contains the Country Names, it is static. But the thing is in some scenarios there will some country selected before our program started to execute.

So by default in our sikuli script we have to take the control to the first item so that we can put it in the loop by knowing the count.

Is there any way to reduce this step.

Clearly no.
But I think with a fixed/known list, this is rather easy.

Exception:
you try with Region.text() or take an image of every list item (which can be automated).
But both solutions heavily depend on, that in all cases the displayed font is the one when developing the script.

Hello,

I faced the same problem.

I also have a combo box with list of countries.
I cannot select one from list of many.
But my combo box helped me by selecting the particular country.

How?
Reach upto the combo box
then pass the command type ('united kingdom")(I tested it manually to confirm and it worked)
united kingdom was selected.

Hope u understood it and will help u
