Ajax Control Toolkit Combobox

[Jon]

Hey guys

I'm trying to figure out how to use a combobox from the ajax control toolkit in test studio. 

In some cases I can't seem to select the proper item, and in others when I submit a combobox with a selected item the default value (prior to my test running) is submitted.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks
Jon

Hello Jon,

Thank you for your question.

In those cases where you are getting unpredictable behavior with your combobox selection I would suggest adding a hover event and delay prior to the selection. This can be accomplished by adding a 'Mouse Action' from your Elements Explorer and 'Execution Delay' step or by altering the code below to point to the appropriate ListItem and replacing your Click step altogether.

Pages.ComboBoxSample.ListItem.ScrollToVisible();
Pages.ComboBoxSample.ListItem.MouseHover();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
Pages.ComboBoxSample.ListItem.MouseClick();

Let me know if this solution helps.

If you continue to have trouble with the combobox selections I would be able to provide a more detailed solution if you were to attach a copy of your test to this ticket. Additionally, a Jing video demonstrating the issue may also help me to better understand what is happening.
