Hello

I am new to using PAD and it worked fine when I used the recorder. I got a problem now, PAD says that they can not find the tab button called result. Under below is my flow. The error is shown below on line 8.

This is weird since the problem is not wait time or visiblity since I ran the flow with no loading and result tab ready for use but I still get the error that UI cant find it. Below I show the tab button and circle around it.

Is there maybe a solution where I can brute force the PAD to take the mouse pointer and press the location of the tab? Or maybe there is a better solution someone can help me with.

Thank you for the help.

Hi @yasinsh I hope you are doing well.

Probably the Selector Ui element is dynamic, and that’s why is failing.

Use this approach in the meantime, is an action named Move Mouse on Screen OCR

OCR stand for Optica Character Recognition, so this will recognize the keyword Results and move the mouse and click over the keyword/tab.

Here is the snipped code, only copy it and paste it on your PAD development window Diana.

MouseAndKeyboard.MoveMouseToTextOnScreenWithOCR.WaitForTextToAppearAndClickTextOnScreenWithWindowsOcr TextToFind: $'''Results''' IsRegEx: False WindowsOcrLanguage: MouseAndKeyboard.WindowsOcrLanguage.English Occurence: 1 SearchForTextOn: MouseAndKeyboard.SearchTarget.ForegroundWindow ImageWidthMultiplier: 3 ImageHeightMultiplier: 3 MovementStyle: MouseAndKeyboard.MovementStyle.Instant Timeout: 5 ClickType: MouseAndKeyboard.ClickType.LeftClick SecondsBeforeClicking: 1 PositionRelativeToText: MouseAndKeyboard.PositionOnImage.MiddleCenter OffsetX: 0 OffsetY: 0 X=> LocationOfTextFoundX Y=> LocationOfTextFoundY Width=> WidthOfTextFound Height=> HeightOfTextFound

PS: the app that contains the keyword most be in the foreground

Please let me know if it works, happy automation!,
