This full tutorial shows how to get all items from a drop-down list (combo-box/list box). Afterward, it's shown how to select/click on items in the drop-down menu. 0:40 How to get all items in a drop-down menu in UiPath (Get Children) We define the scope with a Use Application/Browser - a Google Chrome browser instance. Remember to rename the activities to make your workflow smooth and easy to interpret for future developers. Use the Find Children to retrieve information about the UI elements in the drop-down. The information is stored in an IEnumerable. Using a For Each, we take the Get Attribute to extract the name of each of the elements (aaname). To test the automation we print the aaname to a Write Line. We can also save the names/elements from the drop-down to a DataTable/Excel sheet. 16:40 Select items from a drop-down menu with Select Item Selecting a single item in a drop-down menu is easy. We use a Select Item with a string in it. The string needs to have the same value as the name we want to select in the drop down. To select multiple items in a drop-down, we use an array with the names/items in and then a For Each to iterate through the items. 24:59 Click all items in a drop-down menu To click all items/names in a drop-down menu, we need to first retrieve the items/names and then we can use a For Each to iterate through them. #uipath #rpa #automation
