Hi,

I wanted to ask what is the windows handler ID and internal ID for each of the windows controls?

Is it the things in the selector after we indicate an element?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you elaborate your question with specific sample?

Do you mean window handle like the following document?

Hi,

I have one element that is unable to detect via the selector and it can only use click image activity.

Thus I went to research about the reliability of the activity.

From the research, they said that the windows handler ID and internal ID for each of the windows controls is more reliable than the image.

Therefore, I wanted to try about it. However, I don’t understand what is it.
