Greyed out activities

[Honda]

Hi Team,

WE have a scenario like View Jobs where it shows till which stage the process has run.
These view jobs represented similar to like a flow diagram with boxes with text written in it. Each box represents one flow. If the box outline highlighted as dark bold in color then that flow is completed any box that is greyed out we need to click and choose the restart option.
Here the question is can UiPath able to recognize the bold box or greyed out box?
Any option there to identify this ?

Hi @Honda

Use the Get Attribute activity to check properties like font-weight, color, or opacity. If selectors don’t work, try Computer Vision to detect UI elements visually. As a last option, use OCR or Image Matching to differentiate between bold and greyed-out boxes.

Happy Automation with UiPath

@Honda

ideally these changes are done using class..so try to check the class difference between greyed and non greyed once and based on that build a logic to categorize

another possibility is direct css changes this might be little difficult but generally not the case with modern ui

cheers

Hi @Honda,

There can be different ways to solve this problem but that will depend on its selector.
You will have to explore its selector using uiexplorer, check the properties/attributea selector is exposing and then take a particular approach.

I am sharing few threads on similar set of problems, have a read, this will help you understand what are all different ways and then based in your selector’s properties and attributes, you should be able to decide which is appropriate for your scenario.

Do an action if an input is blocked

I want to do x activities if the input box is blocked, but if is not blocked I want to use the type into When the box is blocked I cant use the type into, UiPath says that the action Cannot be performed This is how it looks when is blocked [image] This is how it looks when it is available [image] Sorry for making so many threads in the forum, I am new at this rpa world and internet tutorials are awfull

Check if element is grayed out

Assumption: Web Application whenever the gray-out appareance cannot be derrived from style, class … attributes (also check parent elements from the structures) then we can use the following component (available for Windows, Legacy) with this we can grab CSS Property Values of an UiElement (Webelement). In your case we would suggest to check for the color property (color = Text Color) When the application is of different type like Desktop, Java… then let us know the type and the application …

Hope this helps.
