hey @dsb18

I wants to know which IE version you are using because with IE11 it is showing save dialog pop up.

and this problem is due to slow page loading may be due to internet issue or something so Dom elements have not loaded and click event is already fired before loading.

if you are opening a url by uipath so make sure in activites properies always make “complete”.

here with click properties try to check simulate and let me know.
and other check by using UIexplorer you can check if it is a select box or combo box then you can use "select item"activity as well.

Let me know the things.

Regards…!!

Hello.

I had this problem before with IE so you can try it here. Use an On Element Appears Activity, change the options so that check WaitVisible and set RepeatForever to False and indicate the Save Buttons. Now the button should be clicked as soon as is visible.

I also faced the same problem. But problem is when I am running particular sequence “click save as” is working but same is not working when it is called from main workflow by running main workflow.
Again the same is working when I triggered the main workflow from UiRobot.

I did as below.

  1. Not using any attach window hence full selector in IE for both clicks
  2. Simulate enabled
  3. WaitForReady to None

Seems fine.
If your Save-as option is delayed for some reason, i.e. more than 30 secs the you can add a delay or element exists before that click

This is what the sample selector should look like if you want to verify:
Save-As arrow:
<wnd app='iexplore.exe' cls='IEFrame' title='Internet Exp*' /> <wnd aaname='Notification' cls='DirectUIHWND' /> <ctrl automationid='IENotificationBar' /> <ctrl name='Save' role='split button' /> <ctrl name='6' role='drop down button' />

Save-as menu item:
<wnd app='iexplore.exe' cls='#32768' /> <ctrl name='Context' role='popup menu' /> <ctrl automationid='53409' />

I used approach like @nadim.warsi and it works just fine for the first download. I only wrapped the action by “On Element Appear” activity with selector “<wnd app='iexplore.exe' cls='IEFrame' title='Volume History Report - Internet Explorer' />
<wnd aaname='Notification' />” and also using “Attach window” for each dialog.

However for the second and another download the click of split button did not work. Finally I solved it by adding a redundant “Hover” activity before the “Click” activity.
