How to Select an item from the weblist in QTP?

Selecting an item from the weblist is tricky in QTP. We have a method - select to select a specific item from the weblist.

But the item value is case sensitive. That means if you have 2 items in the list say Buy and Sell , then below code will throw an error saying can not identify the specified item of type - listType.

objParent.weblist("name:=listType").Select "BUY"  'and not Buy

But if you use below code, it will work like a charm.

objParent.weblist("name:=listType").Select "Buy"  ' and not BUY

To make the code more reliable we can use more improved code as shown below


itemToSelect = "BUY"

arrWeblistItems = split(objParent.weblist("name:=listType").GetROProperty("all items"),";")

For itemCounter =0 to ubound(arrWeblistItems)

If trim(ucase(arrWeblistItems(itemCounter))) = ucase((trim(itemToSelect))) Then
objParent.weblist("name:=listType").Select arrWeblistItems(itemCounter)
Exit for
End If

Next                                                

This is how we can select the item from the combo box in QTP regardless of case-sensitivity.
