Problem selecting in a dropdown menu during playback. - qemls29 - 11-24-2011

I have a problem selecting a value for a dropdown menu during playback. I'm getting the error: "Object is disabled". During playback, the dropdown menu responds to a Click with the code:

Code:
Browser( "Browser" ).Page( "Page" ).WebEdit("default value:=ABC").Click

But, can't select a value with the code:

Code:
Browser( "Browser" ).Page( "Page" ).WebEdit("default value:=ABC").Set "XYZ"

Listed below are the object's properties. Anyone know how to correct this problem? Thanks!

Code:
Class Name = WebEdit

abs_x = -358

abs_y = 577

class = rcbInput

default value = Full iLearnNYC Class

disabled = 0

height = 18

html id = ctl00_ctl00_cpMainBody_childCPMainBody_radCourseDeliveryType_Input

html tag = INPUT

innerhtml =     

innertext =     

kind = singleline

max length = 2147483647

name = ctl00$ctl00$cpMainBody$childCPMainBody$radCourseDeliveryType

outerhtml = <INPUT style="DISPLAY: block" 

id=ctl00_ctl00_cpMainBody_childCPMainBody_radCourseDeliveryType_Input class=rcbInput 

title="Please select term" value="Full iLearnNYC Class" readOnly type=text 

name=ctl00$ctl00$cpMainBody$childCPMainBody$radCourseDeliveryType 

autocomplete="off" jQuery152023392217578324192="3">

Is it WebEdit or Menu?

RE: Problem selecting in a dropdown menu during playback. - ravi.gajul - 11-24-2011

Try this,

Code:
Browser( "Browser" ).Page( "Page" ).WebEdit("html id := ctl00_ctl00_cpMainBody_childCPMainBody_radCourseDeliveryType_Input

").Set "XYZ"

It's a drop down menu, which records and Object Spy sees as WebEdit. Thanks.

I tried using the html id, but still get the error "Object is disabled". Thanks.

Hi...
Object Spy clearly shows that the object is readonly. So, you will get 'Object is disabled' error.

If u want to change the readonly property to editable field, you can use below code.

Code:
Browser("Browser").Page("Page").WebEdit("WebEdit").Object.readOnly=false

'it makes it editable field

Code:
Browser("Browser").Page("Page").WebEdit("WebEdit").Set "vins"

' now you can set the value u want

Can u attach the screen shot of the page if it does not work?

Hi Friends,

Hi qemls29,
I'm facing same issue, How did you got it working?

In my application, I've WebEdit object called 'time_zone'
Manually: If I type India, I get it in the drop down(already highlighed), Then press ENTER.

I'm unable to do same thing in UFT. Any suggestion would help.
I tried SendKeys and FireEvent but didn't work.
