UiAutomation- Not able to figure out, what activity should i use

Help Studio
1

Hello:

I am not able to figure out what kind of UiAutomation activity i should use for the scenario, i have. Please see attached screenshot, so when i hover around “Browse file” i will see an option of " From Computer" or “From Shared Files”.

I tried using “Hover” action, or “Click action” and none of them work.

Have you tried using click inside attach window (indicate that box)

@prasath_S , i did not try click inside attach window, however i used click activity and then used F2 key to delay the click action. That kind of helped. But i am running into another issue and not able to figure it out. So here is the process scenario

→ Browse files → From computer → As soon as this is clicked) it prompts with “Open” window.

Attached a document to this thread, i am not able to figure what activities can be used for these sequence of three clicks.

I can certainly try that, but my confusion is, right after that “click activity”, there is another file selection window.

Can a single Click activity can be used to automate the following three steps?

  • Clicking “From my computer”
  • Click a “File”
  • Click “Open”

@rrevuru,

There are three steps you mentioned above…
you have to use three activities too… we cant conclude those steps in single activity…

You can do a recording as well… that will also generate those many activities.

Cheers,

@Pankaj.Patil , Thanks, i started web recording, process includes choosing a file from open dialog prompt. Uipath throws the error with cannot find "Attach window open dialog.

Any other suggestions?
