I need to click on a random/dynamic number of buttons on a desktop application screen to generate a report. All of those buttons have same name. How can I iterate through them one after other?

Hi @vinnyt1984, You can use Find Children Activity.

This activity is going to return you an IEnumerable<UiElement>. You can loop through that and get the required UiElement

Hi

Welcome to uipath forum

Usually if the name of that is same their attribute idx value or any one attributes value will be incrementing

For example use a click activity and indicate on that button
We will get the selector and attributes of that element

Copy the selector and paste it in notepad

Use another click activity and indicate on next button and copy paste that selector in the same notepad below to the previous one

If there a attribute whose value looks like incrementing then create a Variable for that attribute and then pass the value as a counter incrementing inside a loop

Here you go on how to create a variable in selector

Hope this would help you resolve this

Cheers @vinnyt1984
