Check Edge tabs using computer vision

Help Studio

Hi everyone,
In a process that opens Edge — where I cannot use “Attach Browser” or “Use Application/Browser” but instead interact with the application via computer vision — how can I check the number of open Edge tabs?

Hi @simone.trenta,

You can try this.

  • Click the small tab search/drop-down button near the top-left of Edge’s tab bar or send hotkey “Ctrl + Shift + A”
  • The opened panel shows all open tabs.
  • Use OCR/CV to count the entries in that list.

If the above one doesn’t work you can also try this:

  • Indicate the Edge window - CV Screen Scope activity
  • Inside it, add CV Get Text or Get OCR Text activity.
  • Configure the OCR region to cover the tab search results list.

Cheers!

Hi @simone.trenta

Computer Vision identifies and interacts with UI elements visually (e.g., CV Get Text, CV Element Exists, CV Click) Click rather than exposing browser tab metadata.

Happy Automation

@simone.trenta

on chrome tab if you do shift+esc it gives a view of all tabs as a table..try using cv table extraction to get the table and do a count

cheers
