drag and drop UI elements between windows in UI elements pane

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

I'm designing a flow to automate filling an application on my desktop. I've recorded the first part of my flow and so the window 'EPB 13.0.1... test' was added with all the used UI elements to the UI-elements pane. However, if i want to record the next part of the flow PAD will see the same application file as a new window. This was added in the name of window 'EPB 13.0.1... test 2' (although it's the same file). Now i've tried to drag and drop the UI elements from one window to the other, it worked like two times (i guess with some good luck), however now i can't get it done anymore.

- So how can i do it? so for example in the picture below i want to drag UI element 'test' from window 'EPB 13.0.1... test 2' to 'EPB 13.0.1... test'

- Why does PAD keep adding UI elements of the same application file in a new record under a new window?

 

Hopefully anyone can help?

 

Many thx!

    Dear JanCr,

    Other than maybe nicely sorted view ... what is the issue? Does this cause your flow to fail?

    I have never bothered with the sorting/structure ... just if the flow recognizes the right element in the (at that point) selected/primary window.

    If there is an error, can you please share, would like to take a look. 

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
