Hi @skini76

Here is an example:

How to scrape text from a mouseover

I am in a desktop application where certain information only appears by hovering over a data element and a text line appears a few pixels down and across from the mouse. How do I get this data? I can set the place to hover … but how do I even try to scrape the text - I may have to OCR it … but even then I need to specify the rectangle to OCR. Does UiPath provide some feature to do this?

Not working for me

What? Image automation? Get Text? Retrieving the selector from the tooltip?

What Studio version are you using?

Use get attribute activity on the element and specify the html attribute name. For this you dont need to mouse hover on the element and it gives accurate result.

Even this will not work for me for 2 reasons
(a) selector is dynamic
(b) tool tip is handled through div, getattribute cannot be used

Can you share your html selector structure from debug tool
