Get Field at Position

UiPath.Terminal.Advanced.Activities.TerminalGetFieldAtPosition

Gets the text from a form field specified by coordinates and stores it into a string variable.

Note: This activity fails if the VT family of terminals is being used, either with the Direct Connection provider or with a provider using a 3rd party terminal emulator, like IBM EHLLAPI. This happens because the VT family of terminals does not support fields.
