AutoIT3 Info

--------------

$oSelectPaard = _IEGetObjByName ( $oIE1 , "paard" , 0 )

_IEFormElementOptionselect ( $oSelectPaard , "Sverre" , 1 , "byText" , 1 )

The above code doesn't selcet the option I want . Do i do something wrong ? or does the code struggle with the epty option or what ?

To be honest I use the following code

_IEFormElementOptionselect ( $oSelectPaard , $horseName , 1 , "byText" , 1 )

And $horseName consistes of "Sverre"

If anybody can help me or give me some alternate code to try or to debug. Please all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

I tried the "byValue" option also already but even that doesn't work only the "byIndex" does his job.

I don't have time to troubleshoot why it is not working, but here is a workaround until Dale has a chance to look at it.

$oSelect = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "paard")
$oItems = $oSelect.Options
For $oItem In $oItems
    If $oItem.Text = $sHorseName Then
        If Not $oItem.selected Then
            $oItem.selected = True
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

Yes, in fact there is a problem here in IE.au3 with the null value/text. The value returned for the text turns out to be a numeric 0 instead of an empty string and a comparison of a (unexpected) numeric to any string evaluates to True.

I'll fix this in the next release. Thanks Bob for providing the workaround.

No problem.

Thanks for the explanation, now I understand why it wasn't working.
