Adding a Visual Object

In some applications, multiple windows share the same window class/caption. In such cases, the robot cannot rely on window properties alone to detect the correct window. In such cases, you can specify a visual object that appears in the window – giving the robot the information it needs to detect the correct window.

To add a visual object to the selected step's window detection properties:

  1. Go to the Window tab of the Flow Pane

  2. Click the Insert button, and select Visual object

  3. When you move the mouse into the Display Pane, the cursor will turn into a plus (+)

  4. Click the object you want the robot to detect as a window object

    The Window Object box appears around the object

  5. Drag the Window Object box to reposition it or its borders to resize it

The object is added to the step’s window detection properties

You can add multiple window objects by repeating this procedure. Each additional window object is a fallback in case the preceding window object is not detected.
