How to use variables for coded automation click selectors?

Help Studio

Hello,

I’m using click selectors in coded workflows. This is fine except for ones that need variables. In this example, I need the anchor to be set to X variable (due to it changing).

The selector looks like this:

I need to enter the variables into these areas, but am unsure how to do so in coded automation.

My current code:

screen.Click(Descriptors.Oracle_Scope.Edge__OTM.ShipmentBox, new ClickOptions
{
InteractionMode = (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Enums.NChildInteractionMode)NInteractionMode.HardwareEvents,
ClickType = (UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Enums.NClickType)NClickType.Double
});

You need not add in the workflow…assign a variable in the desriptor in object repo…and assign the value to the variable during runtime…so that the value would reflect

Have you managed to do this?

I have tried adding it directly inside the descriptor in the object repo, but no variables show up to use, even though I have plenty throughout the process. And I’ve tried running it with the variable, without validating but it does not work.

This is only a warning…during runtime it ahould take the value if set

Mhm, still getting “Couldn’t find selector” error in runtime. I’ll work on it a bit more.

The innertext should exactly match…to check use the same in a normal workflow and correct the selector and then use in coded
