value set on a combo-box gets refreshed after hitting on save button

[spoo]

Hello Guys,

 

I have a combo-box and i need to set the value "Boeing commercial 767 ", it gets set for that value .However when i hit on save button its comes back to default value that is Boeing commercial 777.

Here is my code.

;Set the Program

Local $oIENew = _IEAttach("https://www.net-inspect.com/FAIRForm1.aspx","url")

$oControl=_IEGetObjById($oIENew,"cboProgram")
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oControl,$cboProgram,1,"byText")  ; Here $cboProgram is "Boeing commercial 767 ", i'm taking it dynamically from an excel sheet
 ConsoleWrite($cboProgram &@CRLF )   ;gives Boeing commericial 767 
_IELoadWait($oIENew)

 

; Hit on Save button

 $oControl=_IEGetObjByName($oIENew,"Submit")
_IEAction($oControl,"click")

_IELoadWait($oIENew)

 

is there anything that i'm missing?

There are probably events tied to the combobox that aren't being properly triggered. Unfortunately, the site requires a login so I'm unable take a deeper look into this for you.

Try throwing in an _ie_action blur on the list after selecting the value.   that's a popular event, but a guess on my part.

Hello  ,

Thank you all for your reply .

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oControl,$cboProgram,1,"byText",0)

i had to add 5th parameter  that is 0 , which means do not fire onclick. 

Happy Learning!

Glad you found a simple solution, which I probably wouldn't have even tried. ;-)
