Using _WD_ElementSelectAction to select an item from dropdown

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

 

I'm trying to set a dropdown using the below. Currently I get an error as the msgbox pops up 

;Select item from dropdown
        $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, '//*[@id="requestedValueSelect"]')
         _WD_ElementSelectAction($sSession, $sElement, 'Dropdown Item 1')
            if @error then
               Msgbox(64, "", "Error selecting dropdown", 2)
            EndIf

 

Scite output is 

__WD_Post: StatusCode=200; ResponseText={"value":{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf":"e3f9ac38-7d3e-4ea8-a7dc-15e72243277c"}}...

_WD_ElementSelectAction ==> Invalid data type: (Value|Options) $sCommand=>Dropdown Item 1

Due to the scite output it's saying invalid date type?

You could have a look at my example script in this thread:

Correct. The 3rd parameter for _WD_ElementSelectAction is $sCommand, and it accepts two commands: Value and Options.

The command you're looking for is _WD_ElementOptionSelect.
