Selecting text box Issue

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I am trying to automate invoice process in GP using desktop recorder, however I am facing an issue where I am not able to select a text box due to unfortunate reasons.

 

Here is the snapshot of the text box which is not selectable on this pane:

Whenever I select this text box this “send keys” action selected which is not suitable action for the text box and it should be “Populated text field in window” action:

Is there a way to select my text box and populate my variable in text box

 

Regards,

Ahmad

    Please use inspect.exe to see if this text box is accessible:

    If not, maybe you can jump between fields using sending TAB key or using OCR to send mouse clicks?
