| | Re: Select drop down element with VBScript Did your script wait long enough after activating the application for it to be ready to process the keyboard input? And did the application window have focus at the time? /Al "LuisE" <legonzales@xxxxxx> wrote in message news FC9247E-198C-4157-A50E-D571DC8E0E87@xxxxxxQuote: >I need to activate an application (List Grabber) window that only contains >a > dropdown from which I want two select the second element. > > I tried using sendkeys {Tab} to activate the dropdown but it doesn't work > > Thanks in advance |

You will need to look for a mouse input simulator - unfortunately, there is no sendkeys equivalent (sendmice) available in WSH. What kind of application is this? It certainly does not adhere to the concept of accessibility if its only interface is with the mouse. /Al Quote: > "Al Dunbar" wrote: > Quote: >> Did your script wait long enough after activating the application for it >> to >> be ready to process the keyboard input?
