Getting/Setting ListItem in OBS

See original GitHub issue

I’m having the same problem as another issue #507 but this time it’s related with ListItem under Properties of a Window Capture.

The control looks like this (onyl relevant part):

   |    |    |    |    | ComboBox - ' Down'    (L813, T521, R1380, B541)
   |    |    |    |    | [' DownComboBox', ' Down', 'ComboBox', ' DownComboBox0', ' DownComboBox1', ' Down0', ' Down1', 'ComboBox0', 'ComboBox1']
   |    |    |    |    | child_window(title=" Down", control_type="ComboBox")
   |    |    |    |    |    | 
   |    |    |    |    |    | ListBox - ''    (L0, T0, R0, B0)
   |    |    |    |    |    | ['7', 'ListBox', 'ListBox0', 'ListBox1']
   |    |    |    |    |    |    | 
   |    |    |    |    |    |    | ListItem - '[LockApp.exe]: A Windows alapértelmezett zárolási képernyője'    (L0, T0, R640, B13)
   |    |    |    |    |    |    | ['[LockApp.exe]: A Windows alapértelmezett zárolási képernyője', 'ListItem', '[LockApp.exe]: A Windows alapértelmezett zárolási képernyőjeListItem', 'ListItem0', 'ListItem1']

The way I tried was APP.PropertiesForWindowCapture.DownComboBox.select("the item I want to select") which throws the same error as the referenced issue:

Just FYI. I managed to create a sort of sample app with PyQT5 and qtdesigner.

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets

class Ui_Dialog(object):
    def setupUi(self, Dialog):
        Dialog.setObjectName("Dialog")
        Dialog.resize(400, 300)
        self.buttonBox = QtWidgets.QDialogButtonBox(Dialog)
        self.buttonBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(30, 240, 341, 32))
        self.buttonBox.setLocale(QtCore.QLocale(QtCore.QLocale.English, QtCore.QLocale.UnitedStates))
        self.buttonBox.setOrientation(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)
        self.buttonBox.setStandardButtons(QtWidgets.QDialogButtonBox.Cancel|QtWidgets.QDialogButtonBox.Ok)
        self.buttonBox.setObjectName("buttonBox")
        self.comboBox = QtWidgets.QComboBox(Dialog)
        self.comboBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(20, 40, 101, 22))
        self.comboBox.setObjectName("comboBox")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.setItemText(0, "")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(Dialog)
        self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(20, 20, 101, 16))
        self.label.setObjectName("label")

        self.retranslateUi(Dialog)
        self.buttonBox.accepted.connect(Dialog.accept)
        self.buttonBox.rejected.connect(Dialog.reject)
        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Dialog)

    def retranslateUi(self, Dialog):
        _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
        Dialog.setWindowTitle(_translate("Dialog", "pyQT5 ComboBox sample"))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(1, _translate("Dialog", "Red Star"))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(2, _translate("Dialog", "Blue Sky"))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(3, _translate("Dialog", "Green Grass"))
        self.label.setText(_translate("Dialog", "Select colour"))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    Dialog = QtWidgets.QDialog()
    ui = Ui_Dialog()
    ui.setupUi(Dialog)
    Dialog.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The demo also doesn’t have ExpandCollapsePattern so now we can try to tune the UIA ComboBoxWrapper to handle it as well

Well, this way doesn’t work. It’s something connected with keyboard focus.

I decided to always return “collapsed” state for Qt5 combo until we could find a solution. All other methods have been fixed in PR #669.
