Comparing images possible?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a desktop flow where in one sub-flow I've hit a brick wall.

 

It goes out to a website to gather text fields and store them in variables to later execute tasks. To put this into perspective this is a ITIL platform and this goes out store information so it can then complete tickets. 

 

One of the values I need do not come in traditional text fields but rather just 2 checkboxes. I'm unable to interact with the Web page and or no items come back in the Window otherwise but I have been able to extract text and copy from text fields up until now.

 

I need to grab what of 2 values are "Checked off" but can't figure out how. 

Here's a simple representation:

 

[✔] Item 1

[    ] Item 2

 

In this case Item 1 is checked off and that's what I need to store.

 

Again I cannot inspect element on these, I'm wondering if there's a simple free solution/workaround to grab "What items are checked".

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi, 

     

    I have tried to inspect the checkbox from a webpage using PAD but I could not, same as you mentioned earlier. 

     

    I think comparing images is not a good option. There is a workaround solution that you can get the inner html of the element that contains the checkbox and then check if the inner html contains this text or not: checked. 

     

    See image below for more information:

    Thanks and hope it can help you.
