click fail to get UI element

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JoeAu 116
In a windows app, I click the Filter button in its top menu, then it will pop up a window to let me select "Default Scheme".
The flow stops at "Click UI element in window" action  (as shown in attached photo).
But it is strange, it does not fail everytime.
Test 10 times, may have 2 times success to pass through the step.

    Hi,
     

    Instead of using a static delay (wait action), try using the "wait for window content" action to capture your filter menu. This action will wait until your filter menu appears on the screen before allowing the "click UI element in window" action. This approach should significantly reduce the failure rate.

    Please give it a try and let me know if you have any questions

     
    Thanks,
    Deenu
