Posted on by VenkataSaiRaju

Hello Team,

I am trying to identify symbols on Drawing Canvas for one of my Desktop Applications, using "Add UI element/ Inspect UI elements" option from Power Automate Desktop tool.
But, when trying to inspect the respective canvas/symbols, it is just giving me the complete surface of "UI Custom" irrespective of the children list in that UI Custom surface.

Here, I want to identify the respective symbol and canvas apart from the complete window.

Hi VishnuReddy,

Thank you for your reply.
I have attached screenshot for reference. And, below is the flow which I was trying to achieve.

- We have a drawing canvas for one the desktop application(as shown in screenshot), in which I am trying to identify/get the details of the canvas.
- As well as, I am creating a symbol in that canvas using left side symbol pane(as shown in screenshot).
- Then, here I want to identify that respective drawing/symbol using Power Automate Desktop tool, which I am not able to.

Please let me know, if any additional details/info is required.

Hi @VishnuReddy1997 ,

Tried that option using Capture Image, but the Power Automation Desktop Tool isn't identify Canvas itself to get the details of symbol.

Hi @VenkataSaiRaju ,

1) To select the options - Use the action " Move mouse to Image" --> a. capture image b. send left button down
2) Again use the action " Move mouse to image" - -> a. capture the image of the surface where the selection has to be dragged
3) Use the action "send mouse click" --> select left button up
