UI Automation Activities
Last updated Oct 28, 2024
Get Source Element
UiPath.Core.Activities.GetSourceElementV2
Extracts the UI element on which the action of a trigger was performed.
It supports only
UiElement variables and the following activities:
Click Event
Trigger, Keypress Event Trigger, Hotkey
Trigger, Mouse Trigger, Click Image
Trigger, System Trigger.
It can be used either within a triggered workflow or within a Trigger Scope activity.
Note: When automating using the Get
Source Element activity in PIP mode, if an element is no longer on the
screen, the activity throws an error. This is because
UiElement
objects are just references of the UI element you are targeting, but do not contain
entire object content. If the element is no longer on the screen, the method call
fails. The Get Source Element activity and its output must be used as long
the element is on the screen.
Common
- DisplayName - The display name of the activity.
Input
- EventInfo - The EventInfo object is
provided by the
TriggerScopeargument (e.gargs.EventInfo). This is used by the GetSourceElement activity to extract the trigger source element (e.gUiElement).
Misc
- Private - If selected, the values of
variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level. This field
supports only
Booleanvalues. The default value is False.
Output
- UiElement - The UI element on which the
action of a trigger has been executed. Only
UiElementvariables are supported.
