    Hi @JKunal 

     

    just to confirm, so your concern is you are not able to indicate the checkbox and input field directly as elements but u are using it as image but still fails right ?

    Hi @JKunal 

     

    well if the elements are not captured by bot using UI Elements option possible way would be to use image or coordinate based UI Automation , even though they are un reliable in some way.

     

    So here using move mouse to text helps to move the mouse to specific text region or a region offset to it

    So if you look at (1) and (2) ui elements as per your query , they have a text near to it, one is Attachments near to (2) checkbox and near to Input dialog box (1) there is a text as well, so based on that you can move the mouse offset to it or relative to the region. You can capture the image of both text near to it and move based on that 🙂

     

    Hope it helps !

    Hi @JKunal 

     

    Sure, Let me give a small example to get understand things better

     

    Let's say i have window liks this 

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1697954364464.png

     

    Now my requirement is to click on close button which is highlighted below

    Nived_Nambiar_1-1697954397022.png

     

    I am using move mouse to text action to move the mouse to close button and then click it.

    The way i tried is using the text Insert file with reference to Insert file text made the activity to move offset from the mouse so that it clicks on the close button. After lot of tryouts, finally got the exact coordinate with respect to text by which we need to click text see below

    Look at advanced properties below

    Nived_Nambiar_3-1697954555515.png

     

    Flow will move mouse 985 pixels to the right of Insert file tex to click the close button. 

     

    By using the same approach you have to design the flow which clicks the checkbox based on input text .

     

    Hope this helps !

    Thanks & Regards,
