The encoding should be a valid string supported by Java; if it is
not valid, the system default file encoding will be used instead.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::Click (deprecated for: Generic CLICK)
Attempts to perform a standard Click on the ComboBox
Attempts to perform a standard Click on the ComboBox. If
the combobox list is not exposed then this will expose the list of items.
If the list is already exposed, then this will close the list.
It must be noted that when you expose the list in a ComboBox, it is
no longer a ComboBox. It typically converts to a ComboListBox. This may
not be an issue on controls that Robot can recognize with a NAME=method.
However, if the control is recognized by ObjectIndex or some other means
then the original ComboBox may no longer be found on the screen.
With this scenario, you need to reference the ComboBox and the
ComboListBox in the application map (and associated data files) as two separate
items.
To avoid these potential problems, use the COMBOBOX 'SELECT' command
to actually open the list and select the item all with a single command.
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
Examples:
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, CLICK
Used to show or hide the drop down list from the ComboBox object.
Used to show or hide the drop down list from the ComboBox object.
Use the Select command INSTEAD of Click if you actually want to
Select an item in the list.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::Select
Select an item by its text value from a combobox.
Select an item by its text value from a combobox.
This method combines the initial Click required to expose the list
of items and then the subsequent selection of a text item from the list.
The routine will first attempt to see if the item exists in the list
and should provide a warning if it cannot find the item or cannot
read the list of items. The routine will then attempt the selection.
After the selection is attempted, the routine tries to verify that the
list has the specified item as the selected item. A warning will be
issued if the routine cannot read the list. A failure will be issued
if the routine CAN read the list and determines that the specified
item is NOT the currently selected item.
Note: RobotJ also uses identical keyword SelectTextItem
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
-
TextValue
The case-sensitive item in the drop down list to select.
- [ ForceRefresh = ]
Force refreshing to update stale element after selection.
NOTE:
SE2 : First implemented in March 2016 for Selenium2.0 and
might not be supported in all engines yet.
Examples:
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SELECT, "MySelection"
This action attempts to Click AND Select "MySelection"
(case-sensitive) from the ComboBox.
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SELECT, "MySelection", "true"
This action attempts to Click AND Select "MySelection"
(case-sensitive) from the ComboBox, and force refreshing
after
selection.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::SelectIndex
Select an item by its index from a combobox.
Select an item by its index from a combobox.
This method combines the initial Click required to expose the list
of items and then the subsequent selection of the item from the list.
The routine will first attempt to see if the index exists in the list
and should provide a warning if it cannot find the item or cannot
read the list of items. The routine will then attempt the selection.
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
-
IndexValue
The item index in the drop down list to select.
Some combo lists are 0-based (start with 0). Some are 1-based (start with 1).
The user will have to determine the index base for their particular combo list.
It would appear that HTML Combo lists are 1-based.
- [ ForceRefresh = ]
Force refreshing to update stale element after selection.
NOTE:
SE2 : First implemented in March 2016 for Selenium2.0 and
might not be supported in all engines yet.
Examples:
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SELECTINDEX, "1"
This action attempts to Click AND Select item #1 from the ComboBox list.
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SELECTINDEX, "1", "true"
This action attempts to Click AND Select item #1 from the ComboBox
list, and force refreshing after selection.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::SelectPartialMatch
Select an item via a partial text match in a combobox.
Select an item via a partial text match in a combobox.
This method combines the initial Click required to expose the list
of items and then the subsequent selection of a text item from the
list.
The routine will first attempt to see if the item exists in the list
and should provide a warning if it cannot find the item or cannot
read the list of items. The routine will then attempt the selection.
After the selection is attempted, the routine tries to verify that the
list has the specified item as the selected item. A warning will be
issued if the routine cannot read the list. A failure will be issued
if the routine CAN read the list and determines that the specified
item is NOT the currently selected item.
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
-
TextValue
The case-sensitive substring of an item in the drop down list to select.
- [ ForceRefresh = ]
Force refreshing to update stale element after selection.
NOTE:
SE2 : First implemented in March 2016 for Selenium2.0 and might
not be supported in all engines yet.
Examples:
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SelectPartialMatch,
"ATextSubstring"
This action attempts to Click AND Select the first item containing
the substring provided.
-
T, WINDOW, ComboBox, SelectPartialMatch, "ATextSubstring", "true"
This action attempts to Click AND Select the first item containing
the substring provided, and force refreshing after selection.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::SelectUnverified
Select an item by its text value from a combobox without verifying the
selection.
Select an item by its text value from a combobox without
verifying the selection.
This method combines the initial Click required to expose the list
of items and then the subsequent selection of a text item from the list.
The routine will simply take the specified text and attempt the
selection.
it will not verify the existence of the item before the attempt, nor
will it verify the item is actually selected after the
attempt.
Note: RobotJ also uses identical keyword SelectUnverifiedTextItem
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
-
TextValue
The case-sensitive item in the drop down list to select.
- [ ForceRefresh = ]
Force refreshing to update stale element after selection.

TestComplete ComboBoxFunctions::SetTextValue
Set the text of the combobox
This action sets the text of the combobox. This version allows
the use of special character combinations and substrings to identify
specific keyboard keys. These are the same special characters and interpretation
used for Robot's InputKeys command and the Windows Scripting Host.
~^+%{( are primarily the characters that induce special processing.
The routine verifies we can read the text property, sets the text value
and will verify that the property has been set to that value *IF* none
of the special characters exist in the provided text value. If those
special characters exist, then no post-set verification will occur.
Fields: [ ]=
Optional with Default Value
- [ TextValue = ]
The text that will be typed into the ComboBox.
TextValue will be the text that will be typed into the Combobox.
Quoted text may be used to ensure proper expected value retrieval.
There is also no check for a missing field because that would be
the same as specifying no text ("")--which is valid.
