Is it possible to type into a browser without indicating it?

[kur0bane]

I want to open a browser using Start Process, but Type Into can only be used with Use Browser activity. Is there any way to solve this issue?

@kur0bane,

You can use classic Type Into activity which uses full selector which don’t require Use Application/Browser scope.

What do you mean by classic Type Into? The only Type Into that I can use requires the Use Application/Browser scope.

@kur0bane,

By default classic activites are filtered out from the activities panel.

Enable classic activities like the way shown in this solution and you can see the type into activity I mentioned.

I could not find the classic activity in my UiPath Studio

Hi @Shakib Please make sure the UIAutomation package is installed The new Studio version offers a lighter installer, which also means that only the System activity package comes pre-installed for your new projects. Right after you install the UIAutomation package, it will show up again

May I know the requirement please?

ideally you would type into some or the other window so can indicate anywindow..if you want it to be generalized then you need to make sure to make it more generic selector

cheers

Hey @kur0bane so you can use start process activity to start a particular site then after you can use the classic activity type into which create a parent selector of the site. so you don’t need to use use application/browser activity.

Why would you open the browser with Start Process instead of Use Application/Browser?

Hi @kur0bane,

If the application is stable and won’t change much, then you can try using the Hotkeys to navigate to the field where you would like to enter the data and use a Classic Type Into activity without indicating anything.

Cheers!

In this case, I find that to indicate the target element is impossible. So to begin with indicating side element, then enter Tab to activate the input form. At last, use Type Into activity without indicating any elements. It works for me.
