Unable to type app name in search box in Windows 10 search button
Hello,
I am trying to search application name using search button in Windows 10 but I am unable to select the object.
I also tried recording the script but still unable to type the application name.
Below is the script
var search=Aliases.explorer.wndShell_TrayWnd.TrayButton // Search icon on system tray
search.Click();
Could you please let me know how to enter the application name.
This works for me:
let appName = 'myApplication'; Sys.Desktop.Keys('[Win]'); Sys.Process("explorer").Window("DV2ControlHost", "Start menu", 1).Window("Edit", "", 1).Keys(appName + '[P500]'); let check = Sys.Process("explorer").Window("DV2ControlHost", "Start menu", 1).Window("SysListView32", "S", 1); while (check.wItem(0,0) == "Recherche...") { aqUtils.Delay(500); check.Refresh(); } if (check.wItem(0,0) == 'Aucun élément ne correspond à votre recherche.') Log.Message('Application ' + appName + ' not found');
So first i call Windows button.
After i enter name of the app to find with a short pause ([P500]) that allows the search start.
After i wait while searching label is displayed.
After i check if the not found label is displayed.
"Recherche..." and "Aucun élément ne correspond à votre recherche." are language dependant.
