UiPath wont recognize textbox and other controls within userform

Question

I have been working on UiPath for quite some time and I have a form where I need to input certain details.

UiPath won't recognize the controls within the form. This form is designed using power builder and the selector looks something as below

<wnd app='pcemain.exe' cls='FNWNS390' title='Open' /> 
<wnd cls='pbdw90' />

Answer 1

Since the items and their order in the list won't change; you should be able to use the Send Hotkey activity or Type into activity, or a combination of the two.

In some dropdowns, you can type the whole name of the item.

My tip for these kinds of situations, where the (mouse) controls are challenging, is to try to do the action manually without using the mouse (or use it as little as possible). When finding a solution, do it in UiPath
