Forum Post: RE: Dropdown list action fails if item to be selected isn't displayed within scroll view

You are correct in what you say, TextClick() only clicks on text that is on the screen.  From what is recorded it looks like the combo box is a non standard control.  You have a couple of options, the first is to use TextExists() and TextClick() together, i.e. check whether the text exists, if it does just click it with TextClick(), if it does not send a PageDown keystroke to the control to view the next set of entries and repeat until you reach the end of the list. The second option is to look at the Custom Controls feature where you can effectively write code that will automate the control for you and all you have to do is call the method to do the work for you (check the help).
