Hi, on this website: https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/ , I need robot to click and view drop-down list with currencies. I can spy on all the surrounding elements using IE HTML spy mode, but the action "Click Centre" on none of those will show the drop-down. It only does when I manually do the left mouse click. How would you accomplish this in Blue Prism ?

Hello,

These 'modern HTML' websites, contain a lot of HTML layers, making harder to spy the right one.
The best approach is to use Global Send Mouse Click (which mimics a physical click).
I'm not sure what you want to accomplish, but if you want to set some currency, you should use Global Send Keys to write in the field and then press Enter to select the correct currency
 
Hi,

As per my understanding you wanted to select the dropdown value according to currency passed for example if Euro then select Euro currency, if this is the case use Accessibility mode to spy the dropdown and don't select the value field and just pass Global Send keys as what currency you want to select and again Global Send keys with {ENTER} this will give you the selection of dropdown.

Hello Friends,

I am using https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/ website for the currency conversion automation. When I spy from Currency element it's highlighting in many places and not which is the correct one. Seems like they are using advanced HTML layers. Can anyone please suggest me how to accomplish this in Blue Prism?

Thanks
Santhosh
