Loop in listview

[Jenni_K (Jenni)]

Hi,

I’d like to select first line and then press the button above, then select the second line and then press the button again. This loop will continue until the end of the total count of the list.

It’s a vb.net application window. And here is the selector of the first line:

wnd ctrlname='lvwConfirmed_Firms'
ctrl name='Confirmed' role='list item' idx='1'

Need help for constructing this loop in the listview. Thanks in advance.

the idx can be dynamized with following:

How to use variables in selectors in Studio (dynamic selectors) without string manipulation!

This tutorial will teach you how to easily use variables in your selectors. In other words, we will be making dynamic selectors without the use of the old method of concatenating strings. How cool is that! For the purpose of this tutorial, I will make 1 click in the Notepad app. Feel free to also reference our documentation here. Let’s begin! 1. First, we will indicate the element we want to click on. In this case, it will be File menu in Notepad: [image] This results in the…

define a counter representing your idx

in a do while loop you can handle:

• element exits - check if the elemen is present
• if yes - click / process / otherwise end loop
• counter = counter +1

the loop runs as long the element exists is true

Thanks for the tutorial! It made it easy for me to set idx as a variable in the selector and use it as a counter in the do while loop. And then I ended the loop when element exists is not true anymore.

ctrl idx=‘{{idx}}’

Thank you very much for the support!
