Robility Spy

The Robility Spy Window provides various components designed to simplify the selection of elements within an application. This makes the automation setup process more intuitive and efficient.

How to Use?

1. To start:  To initiate the automation process, you need to identify and interact with the elements involved. The Robility Spy plays a crucial role in this by helping you efficiently select and configure these elements.

2. Selecting Elements: Begin by choosing the element in the application that you wish to automate. The Spy Window will assist in highlighting and selecting this element.

3. Understanding Attributes: Each element within an application is associated with several attributes. The Robility Spy helps you identify and select the necessary attribute for the specific element you are targeting.
Example: If you need to automate a button, click, the attribute might be its “ID” or “Name,” depending on how the button is defined in the application.

4. Automatic Attribute Selection: When you click on an element within the Spy Window, default attributes are automatically selected. This feature typically covers most automation scenarios, ensuring that you have the essential attributes for successful automation.

Default Attributes

The Robility Spy Window for Desktop Automation automatically selects certain default attributes. These attributes are mandatory for the successful automation of desktop applications. The default attributes include:

a. App: Specifies the root directory path of the application.
b. Cls: Represents the class name of the detected application.
c. Title: Indicates the window title of the element within the application.
d. ApplicationName: Provides the name of the detected application.
e. Id: Refers to the unique ID of the UIA (User Interface Automation) element.
f. Name: Shows the name assigned to the UIA element.
g. Cls: Identifies the class of the UIA element.

Configuring Attributes

1. Variable Assignment: You can assign variables to these attributes in the “ExecuteBy” section to dynamically adjust the automation process.

2. Hardcoding Values: Alternatively, you can hardcode default values for any of these attributes, depending on your specific automation needs.
