Tuyet,
I think the root problem is that there are two kinds of select elements --
multi-select and single select. We only have one class to support them, and
therefore pretty much assume it is multi-select, since the methods you use
with it also work for single select -- but sometimes they are less
efficient. I'm not sure if the best solution isn't to create two different
classes, but this would amount to even more rework then just adding option
objects.
In the mean time, i suggest you work directly with the OLE object. Here are
a couple things to try:
ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.selectedIndex = -1
ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").getOLEObject.value = ""
If neither of these work, refer to this for more information regarding the
OLE interface:

Let us know what works for you.

this looks like a perfect situation for Bret new select_list scheme - you
could do this
ie.select_list(:name, 's').option(:value, 'v2').clear
So Bret, maybe we should add it soon ?

Subject: [Wtr-general] ClearSelection
How can I clear a selection that was previously selected?
1) Selecting this item works fine
irb(main):012:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC
olumnsSelectBox").select("-Descriptive Data")
=> nil
2) But clearing it seems to not work
irb(main):013:0> ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableC
olumnsSelectBox").select("-Descriptive Data").clearSelection
NoMethodError: undefined method `clearSelection' for nil:NilClass
from (irb):13
from ¢¾:0
3) This works too but it takes over 20 seconds since my select box has
lots of items
so it¡¯s too long to use in a script
ie.frame("customizeRemoteContent").select_list(:id,
"availableColumnsSelectBox").clearSelection
That¡¯s why I need to be able to clearSelection for a particular item
rather than for the entire select box
Any idea how to make #2 work?
