I can not find a way to select the File in APPWEB

[rc_brecheen]

While working through the process of opening notepad and then trying to select the FILE it highlights the entire area with File EDIT and VIEW and I cannot zero in on just the FILE. Please help

Hi @rc_brecheen ,

Could you maybe provide screenshots of the issue that you are facing ?

Also, We have Text file Activities that we could use instead of UI Automations to Read, Write, Modify the text data in text files.

Let us know what you want to achieve.

Hi @rc_brecheen,

What activities are you using? With modern design try “Use application/browser” activity with the click activity, it will work to only click “File”.

Kind regards,
Robert

See how it selects the entire area

Hi @rc_brecheen,

Try this in your Click activity:

< ctrl name=‘File’ role=‘menu item’ />

(Delete space after <)

Maybe try updating to newer version?
Im using v22.10.1 Community Edition with the newest stable packages.

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi @rc_brecheen,

You can also try this if it doesn’t work:

Unable to select individual button on menu bar

Ok…I think you are usign the modern activities. Can you draw around that button to select that area and provide a proper anchor. Hope that will work here. Thanks

Kind regards,
Robert

That is the version I am using

Did you try this in your click activity selector?

Could you also check these settings while indicating your click activity:

Kind regards,
