Hi all, I want to select multiple lines in a table having the same numbers. This is done manually by pressing CTRL + the relevant line. I would like to achieve this as well using a uipath activity.
As shown in the screenshot below, the two lines highlighted have the same numbers, and i need to select them at the same time.
Hi,
Is there any other way of doing it rather than ctrl + line.
Also, try to use send hotkey for control & click text activity with the number for the line, how it will react in this case.
Thanks,
Vishal
Thanks for your response,
Ctrl+line is the only way to select the items
I can use Ctrl (hotkey) + line with the number, but that only clicks the first line, do you have any idea on how it can click the next line with the same number?
follow these steps
First use send hot keys and do a ctrl down only and then perform the click activities for each line you need
then do a ctrl up using send key again
Once you get the selector with the required value in it then increase the idx value to find a similar element next to it
cheers
one of many options could be:
retreive with find children / For each UI Element the lines with the dedicated number
then process the result e.g. click with Key Modifier CTRL
Can you explain this further, i don’t quite understand
You want the ctrl to be pressed and held till you click all the rows right?
so in type into give [d(ctrl)] which will press it and keep and for releasing use [l(ctrl)]
In the activities between them perform your clicks on each row that you need
cheers
Hi @Anil_G
Thanks
Yes but i want it to select specific numbers
For instance: I have the number 1234, I want to check the table for lines that have just 1234 and select them. Say I can see three lines with 1234; I tried pointing it to select all three 1234, but it only selects the first line with 1234 and does not move on to the next.
You have to refine the selector and in selector try identifying somethign like inner text or name which contains the value and make it a variable and pass it to select only those rows
cheers
Hi @Anil_G
Since they are the same number, the innertext is the same since the three lines have “1234”
I thought of using the next column “Line” since the numbers vary but click activity only identifies one element at the same time
add an attribute idx to it and change the idx as 1 for first…2 for second ans so on till the selector fails to select all rows matching
Looks like this
<wectrl tag='div' innertext='abc' idx='1' />
Or
you can as well use for each ui element and modify the innertext alone so that it clicks on all with that innertext
cheers
