How to catch a text generated in dropdown list

This id by default displays in dropdown, just want to find that id is displaying or not in that drodown

Hi,

Not sure I understand the question, you have some kind of id generated and then you want to see that this exact id also appears somewhere else (dropdown)?

If yes, do you know exactly what you expect to see there (in the dropsown)?

Yes, Eugene I expect same id in that dropdown, it will bydefault selected in that drpdown . Just to check that displayed is correct or not.

So, as far as I understand the problem, there might be 2 possible solutions:

 1. If you have the SIMILAR id generated elsewhere on the screen, you can just take a screenshot of it and later just to search for the same image later, when you open your dropdown menu.

 2. Try tio use the OCR features. Although it can be a headache, in some cases you might get fairly consistent results.

Please update on your progress.

Thats right Eugene , but the problem is that id displayed in dropdown will be change every time, and an id will generate would be a normal text which we can copy with double and id displayed on dropdown can not be copy .

So again, as I said, you can create a pattern from the first (generated) id and then use it to find the second one on the screen.
For example:

# locate the generated id on the screen and create a pattern
generatedID = capture(generatedIDregion)
generatedIDPattern = Pattern(generatedID)

"""
Some code to open the dropdown menu
"""

# once the dropdown menu is showing, search for the same pattern we created earlier
try:
    dropDownID = find(generatedIDPattern)
    dropDownID.highlight(1)

Otherwise, copy the generated ID and keep in a variable and then use OCR to read the dropdown id. Then compare it.
