If Windows Contains - UI Automation Action

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Charan_R 6

I used this "If Windows Contains" - UI Automation action in Power Automate Desktop for automating a SAP action.Here I tried to check for a tab whether it is available or not in SAP window, If  tab is available, its works as expected where as if tab is not available it is not failing and not moving to next action (Stucks in the same action).

 Please help me on this issue

    Does it really get stuck in the 'If window contains' condition action and not for example 'Wait for window content' action or something after it? 

    If so then maybe you can try using 'Wait for window content' -action and enable "Fail with timeout error" with duration something like 200s

    Then add On error that produces a error variable.

    Then you can do If statement that checks if that error variable is true. So something like this:

    Hi, Thanks for the response.

     

    Does it really get stuck in the 'If window contains' condition action and not for example 'Wait for window content' action or something after it? 

    Yes, 'If window contains' gets struck.

     

    I will try the above logic.
