Hi, I the beginner of using the power automate desktop.
Have a question about extracting data in my app.
Little background:
Trying to use power automate in my application (which is a Java based office approval system).
While I found the power automate can't identify any UI element in my app correctly(I' ve taken some time in the selector builder too, and it keep failed to find my UI element), and I give up to use the UI element,
but I take an alternative by using "Click UI element in Window" with offset X,Y to click button or identify the focus on my screen,
using "Send keys to the foreground window" to insert into the system text fields.
Everything goes smooth and fine.
Question:
Until I found that there is no method to extract the text field that's not using UI element.
I have tried the "Extract text with OCR", but the result is not good.
Any other way to extract the data without using the UI element, sth like extracting my selected text?
Thanks!
@Jimmy_Y Could you please refer this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/how-to/java
IMO sendkeys is what works well. However, it takes time to create the script with accuracy. If you are not confined to any tool, then please check other RPA tools as well.
