Hi,

I have a drop down list in my form, which is filled with values from data base.(eg: clientname).
Its display member is Name and value menmber is ID.
Could please advice, if i pass the ID to the script, how can i select the name automatically through the script.

Thanks

Try doing the same thing you do manually. There are a few different methods that might work for you.

1. Some drop down boxes will automatically go to the selection when typing the name of a selection.

2. On other boxes, you may need to know the count down, and press the Down arrow x times.

3. On other boxes, you may need to make a loop that presses Down, and does an image compare.

Is this drop down on a desktop interface or on a web page?

You should be able to either "drill down" to it (by sending the text of the item you want to select using Send>text), or if you know the index, arrow down the required number, or use GetListItem.

Thanks.
I have tried earlier by sending the text using send>text, but its not worked properly for me. So i tried the second method.

ie., I have counted the index of the item and arrow down to the item to be selected.

Now its working properly..

Thanks again.
