how to select from a dropdown list showing as an webelement? - smukherjee - 04-20-2016

I want to select the particular country dynamically from the drop down list appearing as a web element.
There is no major difference in the property except x-path and coordinates for the different country showing in the dropdown list.

Below the property for a particular dropdown county:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Class Name:=WebElement",
"abs_x:=414",
"abs_y:=564",
"class:=",
"height:=12",
"html id:=",
"html tag:=DIV",
"innerhtml:=",
"innertext:=",
"outerhtml:=<div style=""left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 181px; height: 12px; border-right-color: rgb\(220, 220, 220\); border-left-color: rgb\(220, 220, 220\); border-right-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; position: absolute; z-index: 1;"" unselectable=""on""></div>",
"outertext:=",
"role:=",
"title:=",
"type:=",
"visible:=True",
"width:=181",
"x:=414",
"xpath:=//DIV\[@id=""DS""\]/DIV\[1\]/DIV\[1\]/DIV\[1\]/DIV\[4\]/DIV\[1\]",
"y:=510"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have tried the below code snippet that is working dynamically sometime but each time x-path changed for a particular country showing in the dropdown list and then the code snippet is not working, selecting the different country.

Set obj = Description.Create()
obj("micclass").Value = "WebElement"
obj("html tag").Value = "DIV"
    For i = 0 to strCount-1
        strPpty = objWE(i).GetROProperty("xpath")
        If strPpty = "//DIV[@id=""DS""]/DIV[1]/DIV[1]/DIV[1]/DIV[35]/DIV[1]" Then
            Browser("QlikView").Page("EMD Plus Analytics_Dev.qvw").WebElement("xpath:="& strPpty &"").Click
            Exit For
        End If
    Next

Please suggest how I can select a particular country from the drop down list.

attaching the screenshot of the application.

Replace "United States Of America" with the country which you wan to select from the list of countries.

Code:
xpathValue = "//div[@id='DS']/descendant::div[text()='United States Of America']"

 Browser("QlikView").Page("EMD Plus Analytics_Dev.qvw").WebElement("xpath:="& xpathValue &"").Click

If still you are facing issue, then please share the screenshot the object spy by selecting the country
