Folder window recognize issue as UI element

Hi Team,

I am facing issue that the folder dialog window (the “Save As” dialog) is not being recognized as a UI element in UiPath, even though the PDF itself is detected. PDF is opened and over it, folder window is opened to save the pdf file, but folder window is not recognizing as UI element, hence unable to do any click activity on it or send hot keys over it. I have tried attach window activity, keyboard shortcut but not able to recognize it. Please assist. Attached is the snapshot.

@CodeRays_Info,

Check if your do pdf is inside the remote desktop or outside.

If it’s outside and your UiPath studio is inside the remote desktop, you can’t really control it.

@CodeRays_Info - have you tried switching the UI frameworks?

I have tried this but still getting error as “Indicated element does not belong to the target application/browser”…Even if i try to capture dialog window snapshot, only background pdf file is getting captured. Find elements. keyboard shortcuts, click activity and UI explorer all used but same error.

Hi @CodeRays_Info, could you please send a screenshot of the properties panel for your “Use Application” activity?

Selector is SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

Hi,
I couldn’t get it clearly. Could you please explain further?

@CodeRays_Info,

Is your studio is on remote desktop?

Have you tried using another “Use application/Browser” activity just for the save as menu?

@CodeRays_Info

use a separate use application/browser and indicate the save as window

if directly not able to indicate then try to reduce the pdf window size and move the save as window from above pdf window and then indicate

or else open ui explorer in that you would see all open windows try to find save as window and use the selector

cheers

Hi Team,
Not remote desktop.

Really it helps. Reduce pdf file size window and used "Use Application / Browser’ activity.

Thanks a ton.
