I have to expand the Radtreeview. But while recording UFT I couldnt identify the object of expand icon or the webelement. By creating object i can expand the tree but it takes more time to identify the Object.
I m using .Net, silverline, Activex and Web Addin.
Can anybody help me to sort out this issue.

I created a login sequence and my selectors for the input email, password, click login and element exists are valid. But only when I have the Internet Explorer page open on the website I'm working with.
I did that sequence again, and I ran it, initially it worked but when I ran the hole project it broke again, I tried "repair" and "indicate", I tried to eliminate the title but nothing is working.
As far as I can see, you are using selector attribute:
"title=ACME System 1 - Dashboard"
Try using a wildcard: title='ACME System 1*', so it can work when you leave the dashboard.
This worked for me when I took those UiPath Academy courses.
In order to automate tasks within a browser with UiPath, the browser must be open. There is an activity called Open Browser that's included in the default activities for every project. You need to add this activity to the beginning of your sequence and pass in the appropriate parameters, (ie. URL, browser type) you can then pass the outputted browser variable to an attach browser sequence and execute your browser automation acivities within that.

In addition, the selector that you have shared does not look like a stable selector. There may be other 'H1' elements on the screen that will cause your automation to fail. I would use the UI explorer to help you build a better, more stable selector.
Did you initially use IE to indicate screen elements and then changed the BrowserType property to use a different browser? Please share the sequence to suggest you a fix for your issue.
I would also suggest you to modify the selector to 'title='ACME System *'.
In order for selector to work the application needs to be open and the desired element needs to be available. So when you close the browser the selector disappears.
You may consider swithching to 'Modern Design Experience' and use 'Use Application/Browser' scope to make this more intuitive, and it will also automatically open the browser for you if it is closed.
I have written a code for Web page. The process requires me to click on a weblink which opens up a new window, then perform some operations on the browser window. Then I close the new browser. This is repeated multiple times in the code. All the elements on all the browser windows are normally identifiable using the object spy. However, intermittently during run time when a new browser window opens up the elements on the page are not getting recognized (hence it throws errors). When i go into the debug mode and try using the object spy the maximum identification i can capture is Browser(<>).Page(<>). Nothing in the page is getting recognized.
Now if i close this browser and reopen it and check again, the elements on the page are getting captured by the object spy and i can continue with my script execution. Sometimes I have to close and reopen multiple times for it to work.
Is there any way to handle this scenario. check for object identifications on the run time maybe. Dunno if it this is any relevant but i am not making use of the OR in my project.
Thanks in advance.
This sounds like a bug in UFT and you should contact HP's support.
A workaround if you know where the problem is probable to appear is to add Browser("<name>").RefreshWebSupport. This is an undocumented feature of UFT that sometimes helps in cases like this.
When automating excel using the Excel Interop API, I can easily do a range search using the method Range.Find. I am passing through the LookIn, LookAt, SearchOrder, SearchDirection, and MatchCase options for the Find. This as noted by the MSDN documentation, persists the values passed into this method into the user settings, so the next time that the user opens the find form, the options will be selected which I used in the Range.Find method.
I need to persist the values of the find options before and after I do the programmatic find. So I want to capture the current find options, then do the Range.Find, and then set the find options back to the options that were set before my search. However, I do not see that the find options are publicly accessible. Any ideas on how to get these?
I'm basically looking to retrieve current find option values for LookIn, LookAt, SearchOrder, SearchDirection, and MatchCase.
Update
The most interesting thing I could find so far is that you can access the Excel Application dialogs - Dialogs Interface. So here, I can get access to the FormulaFind dialog, which is slightly different than the Find and Replace dialog, though may lead to some of the properties I'm looking for. I haven't had any luck, but perhaps there's a way to access the properties through this form using reflection. I'll keep trying something with this.
// xlDialogFormulaFind, xlDialogFormulaReplace
Excel.Dialog dialog = this.Application.Dialogs.Item[Excel.XlBuiltInDialog.xlDialogFormulaFind];
Well, I am not sure if you'd consider this approach, but I'll give a shot here in case it might be helpful.
What I would do is, I'd create a registry key holding the values you wanted to persist. I could then call RegistryKey.GetValue(valuename) to retrieve values, provided that there's no exceptions thrown.
As long as that registry key stays there, unchanged, and you have enough privilege to access registry key, you should be able to always get the same values.
Wish we could really use application settings here, which would make it easier, but, well, as you might have known, vsto add-in doesn't like it, according to this article.
You cannot use application settings in an unmanaged application that
hosts the .NET Framework. Settings will not work in such environments
as Visual Studio add-ins, C++ for Microsoft Office, control hosting in
Internet Explorer, or Microsoft Outlook add-ins and projects.
Hope this helps.
IS there any way to embed an OLE object in the Wordpad application using some kind of scripting, say vb script.
Using native application we can do it through Insert->Object and then select any object that needs to be embedded. I need to do it through vbscript like we can do it in Excel/Word/Powerpoint.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Wordpad does expose an interface that can be instantiated using the ProgID "Wordpad.Document.1" as seen below. However, it doesn't appear to have a type library associated with it (there's nothing to see in an object browser) and there is no documentation of any publicly accessible methods or properties. It would seem to me that this was never intended to be used as a scriptable interface despite the fact that the following code will execute without error.
Set objWordpadDocument = CreateObject("Wordpad.Document.1")
I'm working on a little macro record/replay tool which can automate a few very old Visual Basic 6 GUIs we have. To do so, I'm identifying the controls by their name (the value of the name property of a control, that is).
One part of this tool needs to determine the name of a control given its HWND. For newer Visual Basic applications which were done using VB.NET, I can use the WM_GETCONTROLNAME window message. This works nicely.
However, this message is not understood by older windows. Is there any way to do this for controls of Visual Basic 6 applications? A solution which does not require being in the process of the GUI would be preferrable, but if I had a solution which only works inside the GUI process then that would be acceptable as well (since I can do the injection myself).
UPDATE: One thing I just tried, this moderate success: I used the AccessibleObjectFromWindow to check for implementations of the IAccessible interface of the object which shows the given HWND. In case I get an implementation (it seems that many [all?] Visual Basic controls implement this interface), I use the accName property to read out the "accessible name". Sometimes this does yield a useful string, but usually it doesn't.
I believe the only way would be getting inside the process and obtaining a pointer to the Form object, yet I have no idea how to do it from outside.
Is it possible you add support for the WM_GETCONTROLNAME to those older applications?
Or maybe, you could identify the controls by some other, natively-available properties?
Other that that, as Raymond is saying, there isn't much you can do.
Can you modify the vb6 apps? if so in each form load event you could iterate me.controls and use the SetProp(ctrl.hwnd, "MYNAME:" & ctrl.name, 0) api to add the name to the window's own property list, then in your other app you can EnumProps(ctrl_HWND) looking for the one that begins with MYNAME: and parse out the value.
