On entering a text in a text box through write stage in a web page, the adjacent button is not getting enabled

[skarnati]

I am automating an enterprise application using Blue Prism, On entering a text in a particular text box, the button next to it should be enabled as per the process document which is happening when I do it manually.

However, When I use write stage and enter the text its not happening.

I tried using navigate stage to click on the center of Textbox and used Application modeler to send keys within the same navigate stage but it didn't work.

Is there any way to achieve what I want?

Hi skarnati, what you did are the two ways of writing to that text box. So nothing really much can be added to write to it. Here are a few possibilities you can explore-
- You have tried with Send Keys, also check with Global Send keys Events.
- Check with other spying modes
- What is the text you are trying to type in there - is it a long one, does it have any spaces in it. Is there a need for a Wait stage anywhere
- If this is a web application go to the View Source of the web page and see the HTML of the textbox to find if some event or something is triggered when anything is typed into the textbox and consider achieving the same using Blue Prism.
- Sometimes pressing TAB or ENTER or some arrow keys after writing the text also does the activation of other controls.

Hi VJR, I tried Global send key events too but it didn't work as the cursor is not being placed inside the text box. However, I was able to get it done by going through the developer options, captured id of the text box and implemented Insert Javascript Fragment and Invoke Javascript function Actions to place the cursor inside the textbox and then used Global send keys to insert text.

Thank you for your reply.

That's great...that is the exact thing I was suggesting you to try in the second last option.

can you please let me know how did you use these two in combination - Insert Javascript Fragment and Invoke Javascript function Actions . My requirement is to click on an element but its ID is changing dynamically. Path is also not fixed. It is java based app
