Can't write on notepad - the method or operation is not implemented

[Norman_Garcia]

Hi Allan. I was following along the showcase you had on Anders Jensen channel, and in the fibonacci sequence openRPA throwed me this message error. Have been looking here at this forum but I think the problem it’s not about wether if the app finds the window or not, but that it just can’t get the text, or write anything.

my best guess would be, you did not select the text input element inside notepad, this is why the method is not allowed.

Hi Allan. Thanks for your response.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong, I’m just going by your step by step. Tried to record the interaction but it couldn’t be done.
So, I did this:
Press record button
selected the white page in notepad
there was a prompt where I typed “text” to be saved as a value.
But then the selector shows this

It can’t find the text input element in there. I went and browsed every item with the highlight tool and it identifies, yes, every bit of the notepad window (menu, scrollbars), but not the input text element.

The selector is this

[
{
“filename”: “%windir%\system32\notepad.exe”,
“processname”: “notepad”,
“arguments”: “”,
“Selector”: “Windows”,
“search_descendants”: “True”,
“mouse_over_search”: “False”
},
{
“ClassName”: “Notepad”,
“Name”: “Untitled - Notepad”,
“ControlType”: “Window”,
“FrameworkId”: “Win32”
},
{
“ClassName”: “Edit”,
“Name”: “Text Editor”,
“ControlType”: “Document”,
“AutomationId”: “15”,
“FrameworkId”: “Win32”
}
]

I’m kinda baffled because I could follow along the calculator demo and identified every field of that app via the selectors. But can’t find the solution here.
