GUI: Universal Actions

Description

Universal Actions performs low-level robot actions that operate at the screen coordinate level rather than through element locators. Use this step when standard GUI steps cannot interact with a control — for example, clicking at exact screen coordinates, performing drag-and-drop between two points, or reading and writing text at the current cursor position. It supports actions such as Click At, Double Click At, Right Click At, Middle Click At, Hover At, Drag Drop, Set Value At Current Position, and Get Value From Current Position. Because these actions rely on fixed screen coordinates, you must maintain the same screen resolution and scaling factor during both recording and execution.

Note: The UI controls must be at the same X and Y coordinates during record time and execution time. To achieve this, keep the exact screen resolution and scaling factor at record time and at execution time.Action Type: Set Value At Current Position
Action Type: Set Value At Current Position
