Alternative for "Get Details of UI-element" activity in PAD

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10
In my automation scenario, I am getting different types of pop-ups when I fill the fields available on the application.
So I am using "Get details of UI-element in window" to get the text from those pop-ups and based on the that text, I am performing various actions. But there is in't any default timeout property for this activity so it's making the automation very slow as i have used many of these activities in my application.
 
So is there a better alternative for handling this scenario, Thanks!

    Try using If window contains first to check if the element exists, and only read it if it does.

    Try with Extract data from window.
