Handling child windows

Hey,
I am trying to run automation in background session when the windows is locked. It works fine with the parent windows when using simulate as input mode for click activity. After performing some clicked operations, UiPath is failing to automate the child windows. Could you please help how to handle child windows when the windows is locked?
Regards,
Jyothi

@Jyothi31,

Are you saying that the clicks earlier worked not working in next time or iteration?
Or is it specific popups windows not working?

Thanks,

Let me explain with an example
considering notepad, when you have to save the file, another tab or another window opens up where we have to do enter the file name and click on save. Similar is my application it has child windows for generating the report. So, could you help to automate the child windows ?

Thanks,

@Jyothi31,

Ok. Use another Use application / browser scope, highlight that popup window. Use Click activity inside this inner use application browser scope. This should work.

Hi @Jyothi31

Try by changing the Window attach mode property of use application/browser to the Application Instance.
And then give the clicks and type into in the new child windows.
Below is the reference

Hope it helps!!

hi @pravallikapaluri,
The window attach mode is already “Application Instance” still doesn’t work. It does not click neither type into works.
Presently it’s not working even if the windows is unlocked.
