Selecting text in a dropdow, no controlID, etc.

[tnicholson]

I would like to intelligently select an option from a dropdown, but I am unsure of how to proceed. Using Window Info, the dropdown doesn't have a controlID, which I assumed I could just leave as "" but still nothing happens when I try to select a value using ControlCommand.

I thought something like this would work: 

ControlCommand("Dorico","","","SelectString","-2328/12000")

But nothing happens. If I understand correctly, ControlCommand will not necessarily make the mouse move, but even when I then close the window, I see that the value was not selected. To make matters more complicated, the dropdown menu has many values in it beyond what is seen on the screen (i.e. must be scrolled). How might I be able to search these to select values I want from the dropdown that I have, e.g. stored in an array?

As you can see, the control info is totally blank...

You will need to use UIAutomation.
