**How to select a value from a weblist in UFT?**<\/p>\n

Selecting a value from a weblist is a common task in automated testing using UFT (Unified Functional Testing). A weblist, also known as a dropdown or a combobox, allows the user to select one option from a list of predefined values. In UFT, there are different methods to accomplish this task. Let’s discuss the steps to select a value from a weblist in UFT.<\/p>\n

1. **Identify the weblist object**: The first step is to identify the weblist object on the web page. UFT provides various methods to identify the object, such as using the object spy, descriptive programming, or recording.<\/p>\n

2. **Use the Select method**: Once the weblist object is identified, you can use the Select method to choose the desired value. The Select method is a built-in method in UFT, specifically designed to interact with weblist objects.<\/p>\n

3. **Find the value by visible text**: One way to select a value from a weblist is by using the visible text associated with each option. For example, if the weblist contains options like “Option 1,” “Option 2,” and “Option 3,” you can select “Option 2” by specifying its visible text.<\/p>\n

4. **Use the WebList object**: UFT provides a WebList object, which represents a weblist control. You can use this object to perform actions on weblists, such as selecting values. The WebList object has a Select method that can be used to choose a value by visible text or index.<\/p>\n

5. **Specify the visible text**: To select a value by visible text, you need to specify the visible text associated with the desired option. For example, to select “Option 2” from a weblist, you can use the following code:
\n“`vbscript
\nBrowser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebList(“WebList”).Select “Option 2”
\n“`<\/p>\n

6. **Specify the index**: Alternatively, you can select a value by index, which represents the position of the option in the weblist. The index starts from 0 for the first option, 1 for the second option, and so on. Using the index can be useful when the visible text of the options is dynamic or changes frequently.<\/p>\n

7. **Using index to select a value**: To select a value by index, you can modify the code snippet mentioned above as follows:
\n“`vbscript
\nBrowser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebList(“WebList”).Select 1
\n“`<\/p>\n

8. **Verify the selection**: After selecting a value from the weblist, it is essential to verify that the correct value has been chosen. You can do this by retrieving the selected value from the weblist and comparing it with the expected value.<\/p>\n

9. **Get the selected value**: UFT provides a GetROProperty method to retrieve the properties of an object. You can use the GetROProperty method with the “value” property to get the selected value from the weblist.<\/p>\n

10. **Compare the selected value**: Once you have retrieved the selected value, you can compare it with the expected value using conditional statements or assertions. This ensures that the correct value has been selected from the weblist.<\/p>\n
