Hello all,

Please I need your help.
Why do I need to scroll down to click on an element not visible? why is it not detected automatically by UiPath?
and if I need to scoll down how can I do it please ? (I’m under UiPath Studio 2020)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Did you try simulate?

simulate input method works without scrolling

@nourchene.ben-elouehma,

Can you check if you have Mouse Scroll activity. If yes you can scroll till the element visible.

Alternative option would be using keyboard shortcuts to scroll by some numbers like 5 times or 10 as per your observation.

Most probably the UI element is loading dynamically once we scroll down that’s why the simulate not working.

Hi @Anil_G it’s not the case for me. The simulate is not working.

@nourchene.ben-elouehma

when you say not working do you mean its not clicking

if yes then hardware events would be your way…or you would have select a span or div tag…instead select a button or input or a tags which support simulate clicks

if loading dynamically then you have no option other than scroll so use a hover activty or set focus and then use click

cheers
