Hi all!

I have rich web app btuil with ExtJS. It has multi-select list control (created with JS+CSS). I want to click on some item in that list using HP QuickTest Pro 10 with Internet Explorer 6. I added that item into Object repository and found that following code works - selects some item:

Browser("blah").Page("blah").WebElement("SomeElem").Click

next code also works:

Browser("blah").Page("blah").WebElement("SomeElem").FireEvent("onMouseDown")
Browser("blah").Page("blah").WebElement("SomeElem").FireEvent("onMouseUp")
Browser("blah").Page("blah").WebElement("SomeElem").FireEvent("onClick")

But I want to select several items using shift+click method. I don't know to do that :( So I have a few questions:

  1. How can perform click with mouse on several web elements with Shift key pressed?
  2. I tried to do that using CreateEventObject + shiftKey set to true, but the method (perform fireEvent on DOM object, not object from Object repository) doesn't work:

    Browser("blah").Page("blah").WebElement("SomeElem").Object.FireEvent("onClick")

What the difference between WebElement("Element").FireEvent("OnClick") and WebElement("Element").Object.FireEvent("OnClick") ?

Plsease, help someone, because I fought with that problem a lot, but had no result.

Thanks!
