  • 1.  The recorder does not recognize the windows application window.

    Posted 9 days ago

    The recorder does not recognize the application window; the application window does not appear in the mapping.

    Application developed in Delphi.

    Could you share the application?
    Delphi applications are typically Win32 applications, which shouldn't be a problem for Microsoft UIAutomation to recognize.

    Is the application running with administrator privileges?
    In that case, you would also need to run Studio with administrator privileges.

    Some custom elements may not be recognized because they may not follow standard UI element patterns (for example, a DataTable that does not follow the Rows and Columns hierarchy), but recognizing an application window should not be a problem.

    Another option would be to install Microsoft Accessibility Insights for Windows and check if it recognizes the application.

    IBM RPA Studio was run with administrator privileges, and the recorder recognized the application elements.

    Thank you very much.

    Great.

    Be sure to configure WDG.Automation.AgentHost.exe to run as an administrator, otherwise, the bot will fail to run after it is published for the same reason (lack of privileges to access the application).
