I am facing a challenge in accessing a native Windows application. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find suitable selectors to access the desired elements. I have been using the “Get_Element” function and updating the selector tree, but I am not receiving any information.
I am seeking assistance and possible workarounds for this issue. Has anyone experienced similar difficulties or knows alternative approaches to access a Windows application when conventional selectors do not work?
I have already taken various steps to solve the problem, including updating the application and checking the documentation. Unfortunately, my efforts have been unsuccessful so far.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your knowledge and experiences with me. If possible, providing specific suggestions or guidance would be helpful. Additionally, I am available to provide further information, screenshots, or code snippets to better illustrate the problem.
Thank you in advance for your support and valuable contributions.
Despite updating the tree structure, I am not able to see all the elements, and it takes several minutes for certain values to appear after the update. I am unsure whether this issue is specific to my computer or if it is related to the application itself. To provide more context, I have attached a screenshot illustrating a Click event on a nested table. After the Click, a table below opens, from which I need to extract data.
To clarify, I used a UI inspection tool called “Accessibility Insights for Windows.” With this tool, I can find all the necessary selectors for my use case. In this case, I found a “PeriodsCollection row {number}” selector. When I click on it, a table appears that I would like to extract.
After several attempts, I managed to identify the “PeriodsCollection row 22.” However, this selector doesn’t seem to be functioning as expected. I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do. I have already disabled click simulation, thinking it might be the cause of the issue.
Additionally, I’m curious to know if it’s possible to obtain the selectors using a tool like “Accessibility Insights for Windows” and then transfer them to OpenRPA selectors. It’s evident that the selectors have a strong resemblance.
