Hey @Abhi_Nande Welcome to @UiPath_Community

Yes, All Activities of UiAutomation have a property i.e Input Mode.

Choose Simulate option from that dropdown to all those specific activities.

Or Easiest way is you definitely used Use Application/Browser Activity as parent activity for all Ui Activities like Click and TypeInto.

Change Input Mode of that activity to Simulate, all the activities will by default uses same as App/Browser property.

By selecting these properties you can do other activity simultaneously!

@Abhi_Nande

Handling checkboxes with the Simulate Input method in UiPath can be challenging because this method interacts with the UI elements at a lower level and may not always trigger the desired checkbox behavior.

  1. Use a Click Activity with a Simulate Click.
  2. You can use a combination of activities like Get Attribute to verify the checkbox’s status.

Note:
Common attributes to check:
checked: Indicates whether the checkbox is selected (value is true or false).
aria-checked: Often used in web-based applications to indicate state.

Hope I cleared your doubt, if yes then please mark above post as solution.
So, that it will help others to find correct solution!

Best regards,
