Hi @ixzahlutf ,

  • In newer versions (after 2021.10), UiPath modernized its UI Automation activities.
  • If you’re using Modern Design Experience, the activities (like Type Into) no longer show SendWindowMessages and SimulateType directly.
  • Instead, input methods are controlled at the project level (under Project Settings).

You Can enable classic version using below steps:

  • Go to Project Panel → Right-click on your project → Project Settings.
  • Under General, check if Modern Design Experience is enabled.
  • If enabled, you are using Modern UI Automation Activities, which do not expose individual SendWindowMessages/Simulate options in each activity.

Hi @koussighan25

In UiPath Studio 2021.10.4, the SendWindowMessages option is not visible because it’s hidden in some UI frameworks. To resolve input method issues, ensure you’re using the correct Input Method (like Simulate or Hardware). If no changes are observed, try restarting UiPath Studio or updating to a newer version.
