Hello, I am using a mouve mouse to image action. When I use it in attender mode, works fine. In unattended I have a image not found error. I tried changing the default screen configuration for unatended in the uiflowserviceconfig but unfortunately didnt work. Does any one had this problem before?
If there are several identical images, PAD will usually find and use the first one from the top left corner of the screen.
What if the images are identical. It works sometimes and other times it does not. I am new to PAD and trying to learn all I can. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Thanks to eveyrbody for their kind responses. I solved using the CLick to button action, the one intended to WIndows UI instead of web.
I have to disagree with the function being unreliable.
We have som processes where we are using it, and it never fails.
But as you say, if possible use UI elements.
Move mouse to image is very unreliable and should only be used as a last resort. Even then, it will typically only be effective on identical resolution. Even remoting in will typically blur text enough to wear this won’t work.
look for alternative methods you can use.
1) UI elements (web or window) - try the recorder
2) use keyboard shortcuts. This can include Send Keys {Tab} to try to tab to the field or button you are trying to click.
3) some more complex ways might be, for example, if I am trying to click a “Next” button, but can’t get the UI. Using click on text (OCR)
4). Send keys {Control}(f)Next, and use mouse click to image, but just grab the smallest piece of yellow highlight next to the word. If u just have a small color block where small distortion may not matter, your move mouse to image may work better as it allows for some variance.
