How to automate drop-down lists inside webtables?

[Sasha ZAPModerator]

Hello JSmithm,

Thank-you for your question.

When you have a combo list (Drop-down list) inside a table, to work with this combo list (Meaning, to recognize it and to be able to automate it) we need to define the list as a separate object.

These are the steps to define a List inside a webtable:

1. We will define the entire list itself:
1.1 Select the list as the object type.
1.2 Select the number of rows in the list.
1.3 Mark the number of rows.

2 Select the column of the table where the Combo-lists appear as a separate new object type List (You can also select it as a Table object instead).

3. When done, in the testing script use the "zapSelectRowCombo" method to select the specific Combo-list object:
3.1 Provide the List object that we created previously and the row number that is going to be selected.

4. Select an item from the Combo-list itself:
4.1 Select an item from the Combo-list using the "zapSelectRowEx" method.

Please contact Zap for further help.

Thanks,
Sasha
