Posted on by Mokshazna 26

Hi Guys,

 

We are looking to automate Silver Light based Web applications. Its windowless and I am sure this is not same as easy like other UI automation.

 

Can someone throw some light on how we can use PAD to automate tasks on Silverlight based web applications?

 

Thanks,

M

    Usually when you're not able to automate by capturing UI elements, best alternative is use a mix of actions based on images (e.g. 'move mouse to image'), OCR and mouse / keyboard (e.g. 'send keys', 'send mouse click') ...

    Hello @Mokshazna !

     

    As @Anonymous indicates, for performing automations with Silverlight apps, you may use the image based automation that Power Automate Desktop offers.

     

    I recommend utilizing the Image recorder which is part of the Desktop recorder. You may find more information here: Image recorder doc .

     

    Of course you could also insert the necessary actions into your script manually.
