Hi @hungdo,

To select drop down list you can use select item before that give the target selector for that activity using in ndicate on screen and pass the element you wish to select as input.
For type into also same.
Whereas for find children is useful to iterate the all the values in the drop down.

Thanks
Girish

Hi @hungdo,

I didn’t see the drop down in the site you have provided. It is just a home page.

Hi @hungdo,

It is not a drop down element, for this you can use hover and click activities.
You can also use navigate URL for the same.

Eg: For click-and-ship you can redirect here:

Hi Girish,
The problem is not that I can’t find the direct link to use it.
I got a problem with how to guide uipath to select the element.
In the website. normally, by moving the mouse over the mouse & ship.
the elements will drop drown.
In Uipath, I am not sure how to do it yet.
Please help.
Many thanks.

You can use two click activities with Simulate Click checked or else you can also use UI Explorer to find that particular option you want to click

The output of Select items is cities. Convert this to List. And use the Invoke method and use Remove At and give the parameters. Hope it helps. Works for me.

This is for removing the Please Select from the dropdown.

Navigating url is shortcut. But what is the way to do it manually? Hovering and choosing the text on that drop list. I’m just a beginner.
