Hi,
I have a combobox where I am trying to select an item by text, but it seems that I am not able to do so.
I have tried to use the following method
- Find the combobox by automationId (which works): combo = app.MainWindow.Find.
ByAutomationId<ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.Wpf.ComboBox>(comboBoxAutoId);
- Use itemByText to select the item (which doesn´t work): combo.SelectItemByText(true, itemToSelect);
When I use combobox.selectItemByText("Text") I get a null reference exception.
The whole method:
public void selectItemFromComboBox(WpfApplication app, string comboBoxAutoId, string itemToSelect) { ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.Wpf.ComboBox combo; Thread.Sleep(350); app.MainWindow.RefreshVisualTrees(); combo = app.MainWindow.Find. ByAutomationId<ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.Xaml.Wpf.ComboBox>(comboBoxAutoId); combo.OpenDropDown(true); FrameworkElement indicator; for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) { app.MainWindow.RefreshVisualTrees(); Thread.Sleep(350); indicator = app.MainWindow.Find.ByTextContent(itemToSelect); if (indicator != null) { for (int j = 0; j < 50; j++) { Thread.Sleep(1000); app.MainWindow.RefreshVisualTrees(); combo.Refresh(); combo.SelectItemByText(true, itemToSelect); Debug.WriteLine("AAAAAA"); Thread.Sleep(500); if (combo.Text.Equals(itemToSelect)) { Thread.Sleep(350); break; } } } }Please note that I am using a framework element to ensure that the item is visible/not null.
The xaml of the combobox:
<ComboBox x:Name="cmbAttributeType" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Select Type" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignFloatingHintComboBox}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AttributeTypesAvailable, ElementName=LevelAttributes}" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedAttributeType, ElementName=LevelAttributes}" IsEditable="True" IsReadOnly="True" Margin="3,0,0,0" AutomationProperties.AutomationId="Level_Att_Type_ComboBox"/>
I tried doing this with a Framework element (opening the combobox and then clicking on the FWE), but every time I click on the FWE the comboboxlist closes and the comboboxitem is not selected. This is the same for clicking on a combobox item from an Ilist of the combobox.
Any help on this would be great.
Many thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,
Here are the code lines to select value from a combobox element:
There is no need to Refresh the combobox. Try to implement this in your code.
I hope this will solve the issue.

Here are the code lines to select value from a combobox element:
myCombo.OpenDropDown(true);// to ensure the combobox is fully open
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
myCombo.SelectItemByText(true, "Y");There is no need to Refresh the combobox. Try to implement this in your code.
I hope this will solve the issue.
