I'm trying to automate a process in an Oracle application where the main window is in the background, and a search window appears on top. When I search for an ID in that window, if the ID isn't found, it remains focused on the search window. However, if the ID is found, the search window closes, and focus shifts to the main window. This is currently a manual process.
I'm attempting to determine whether the search window is present using actions like "if image" or "if window contains," but these methods aren't working. Do you have any suggestions for a solution?

Does "If window contains" just give error that it cant find the element? Your element might be trying to find some attribute that is dynamic. I suggest you open the UI element and press "Test" when you have the search window open and see on what child element gives the error.

For example here I can see that everything up until the 5th child element can be found. So then I can try to fix that so it doesn't reference some attribute value that changes every run.

Or if it cant find the window then your window element might refer to certain ID and since that changes every run you should change it not to reference the ID or dynamically refer to it with variable.

I suggest trying to stick with "if window contains". "If image" is not as stable since its just trying to find an image that might have changed a little or be under some other window. Rather add Image as fallback to your UI elements.
