How to trigger the selection of an option in a Select Control - Pega RPA
We have a select control in our web application.
When we manually select an option in this control, the subsequent fields on the page refresh and reload
To automate this, we are using Select Item By Text method and passing the desired value.
When doing, we can see that the desired option is selected, but the associated refreshes in the screen are not happening
Tried the following as well, but nothing seems to work
1) Select Item By Text, with raise event both as true and false
2) Perform click by index
3) Raise the onchange event after selecting the option

We were able to select the index by using the Pega Robotics method SelectByText then we raised the change event on the control.
function raiseEvent(htmlId) {
var list = document.getElementById(htmlId);
var eventObject = document.createEvent("Event");
eventObject.initEvent('change', true, false);
target.dispatchEvent(eventObject);
}
To implement this function, we put the code in the ExecuteScript component and called the function from the InvokeScript component from the webpage control.

Yes...the control is matching properly. As I mentioned, when I trigger the Select Option By Text method, I can see that the option is selected in the front end. But the page refresh is not happening
Tried testing selectitembyindex method when in Interrogation mode, but that doesnt seem to have any effect

try to select the option by value. This option is working like a charm for me.
If above option is not working then try below option:
- Set the focus to select control,
- set the text for the select control.
- change the focus from select control to next control.
This will work I guess.

Tried the above steps. I am able to place the focus, but the moment I set text select box gets cleared. I try moving the focus to another control, but nothing happens. PFA the screen-shots.

Hi,
I think the control you are trying to Set the Text is not ComboBox, it is a List Box.
Contact Pega Support team for their assistance.

Hi,
I am having the same problem of reloading tablesection after applied the filters.
So as mentioned in the above posts, am trying to use the callScript component. But when I add the component and run the solution am getting an error like 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'.
Also am not able to see the ccallScript Editor on Script property of the component.

Harish
