I want to skip the step of centering the cell with the mouse, and directly enter the cell in the name box, because this can save 1 second of time, (as shown in the picture) Is it possible?
Click type: left click
Have you tried using the Click UI element in Window action instead of the Move mouse action?
The UI element in the picture is to select one of the Excel files from the work list (a total of 20 independent Excel files), but every time the UI element is left-clicked, the arrow will always point to the central cell of the worksheet. I want to skip the arrow action position.
Have you tried using the Press button in Window action instead? This does not move the mouse anywhere.
Alternatively, what exactly are you trying to do with the Excel UI? I generally try to avoid that, as most Excel interactions can be automated via the native Excel actions and those that cannot, can be done via VBscript or PowerShell. It's much more efficient and stable.
My multiple files are pre-opened on independent Excel app, not opened from PAD, so they can only be operated with UI elements.
Click on the file with the UI element, the mouse arrow in the advanced part will preset a certain X and Y position, I set them as the center to keep the same, but I can't skip this action.
The Press button in window action does not have the mouse position functionality. Try that instead.
Thank you, let me try to test if it is possible to replace UI elements.
You do not need to replace the elemenrs. Only the action.
Can I try step 7 instead of step 6?
I can't tell with your localized UI. I have no idea what the actions are.
Sorry, I only have the Chinese version of PAD, but thanks for the tip.
