How do you select an item from a list in finalescript?
I would like to transpose a certain piece of music by a perfect fifth without opening the dialog box. I know how to set radio buttons and type text, but how do you select a value from a dropdown list?
My code so far:
menu item "Utilities/Transpose..."
select "Perfect Fifth" from list //Does not work
press "OK"
Ah, I found it.
From the documentation:
Selecting an item from a List
FinaleScript supports selecting from simple text-only lists. Simple
lists can be found in the Measure Number Regions dialog box,
Preferences dialog box, or Document Options dialog box.
Note that most of Finale lists are not supported directly by
FinaleScript, including the following dialog boxes:Expression
Selection, Percussion Layout Selection, Articulation Selection, and
ScoreManager. The following commands are equivalent:
select list "display colors"
list "display colors"
So, the code would be
menu item "Utilities/Transpose..."
select list "Perfect Fifth"
press "OK"

I am automation tester and using LEANFT C# tool in windows applications.
We have a scenario where I need to scroll down dropdown menu and select the value inside the ultrawingrid. I am able to select the values that are shown in first screen after clicking the dropdown menu. I need to scroll down the dropdown but not able to do it. I tried like below syntax
"system.windows.forms.sendkeys("{PGDN}")"
"system.windows.forms.sendkeys("{DOWN}")"
"system.windows.forms.sendkeys("{END}")"
How to scroll down the dropdown menu one by one and select the values ?
I am trying to create an item that is a button "show more" and when you press on it you can show a kind of context menu / drop down that all of the items in that drop down are with checkboxes and there is a search component in it too, so you can search some items in the dropdown by their name. For example: (instead of "c++,c#,Object c" it's should show "show more", i.e. static text)
I tried to use kendoContextMenu. But I don't know if it's could work because the problem with context menu is that when I will click on a checkbox the menu will close. Please advise me of a way to do that or if you have an example of code. Thanks!
The MultiSelect component might be a good starting point
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/multiselect.
My understanding is that MultiSelect does not have a "select more than one at a time in dropdown" feature.
You might consider using a pop up window and within that implement your own custom ui that features everything you want
search term box
scrolling list of selected and selectable items
accept or cancel changes in selection
Regarding your dojo that extends drop down list, I can't code the extension for you. However, changing the dataSource assignment to a setDataSource call will populate the extension component according to the template.
// kendo.ui.DropDownList.fn.dataSource = options.testItemSource;
me.setDataSource(options.testItemSource);
My goal is to Programmatically select items from the List of the combo box, but without updating the edit control. The same can be achieved with the mouse. E.g. when you drop down and hover an item from the list, that item is highlited. And that is all. If you want to select in it the combo box (e.g. move it to the edit control) - you must click on the LisBox.
I tried with CB_SELECTSTRING. But it automatically updates the ComboBox edit control with the selected text which is not what I want. I want to do this using raw Win32 or VB6
Thanks
There is a big difference between highlighting an item in the drop-down list and actually selecting an item to make it active. CB_SELECTSTRING selects an item, as its name implies. But there is no official ComboBox API to highlight an item, though.
However, you can display the drop-down list manually (CB_SHOWDROPDOWN), and either:
move the mouse over the desired item so the list can perform hot-tracking logic.
manipulate the list directly. Use CB_GETCOMBOBOXINFO or GetComboBoxInfo() to get the list's HWND, and then send LB_SETCURSEL to it.
I was looking for a way to sort lines in Geany.
Then found the solution below.
I found the answer on http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=24607
From the menu bar, select Edit - Format - Send Selection to - Set Custom Commands.
Click the Add button in the Set Custom Commands window.
Enter sort in the command field, enter sort or a name to your liking in the label field, and then click the OK button.
Select the text that you want to sort.
Right-click on the selected text and select Format - Send Selection to - sort to sort the selected text.
I have an excel spreadsheet that has a drop down menu with two options. When one option is selected, I would like a cell in a different column to use the infromation selecetd in the drop down menu to vlookup a value. Whichever option is chose from the drop down menu pertains to different data. For example, in my drop down menu, the options are: "In-Town" and "Out of Town". It relates to whether or not employees are working in town or out of town. When "In town" is selected, there is specific rates (hourly wages) that apply to that selection, and vice versa. How do I make the cell vlookup the selected value from the drop down menu?
This works exactly as you have described it. Set up the drop down using data validation, refer to the dropdown cell as the first parameter in the vlookup (don't forget to lock it with the $ prefix).
