Mouse Actions

Miscellaneous

Relative To (default: 0.0) Anchor point relative to which the mouse action is to be performed. If no Pin variable has been assigned, this is the top-left corner of the screen. This anchor point can also be set as a placeholder (Inbound Variables).

Please note that the Action Step that returns the coordinates must occur within the same Transaction in order to appear here as a possible Pin variable.

Mouse Click Timing

Mouse Click Down Delay (ms, default: 200) Duration in milliseconds for which a mouse button is held down.

Mouse Click Up Delay (ms, default: 10) Pause between two mouse clicks in milliseconds.

Mouse speed (0–100, default: 4) The mouse must be moved to perform a click. This setting is used to set the speed of this move. High values produce a slower movement. The value 0 disables the movement, meaning that the mouse jumps instantaneously.

The property Relative To can be linked to a Pin variable of the type Coordinate. The mouse action is then performed relative to this coordinate rather than the top-left corner of the screen.

The Group block possesses no outbound variables.

Click position Pair of X and Y pixel coordinates where the mouse action is to be performed.

Mouse ActionThe specific mouse action that is to be performed:

To capture a hover action, you must initially perform a mouse click at the relevant position. You can then change this in the Mouse Action Edit Window from Left to None under Mouse Action (one of the properties).

Click Count (0-99) The number of clicks within the mouse action.

When capturing a double-click, please make sure that the mouse doesn’t slip during the process.

Check how the operation has been captured in the wizard. If LeftDown and LeftUp have been saved there because the coordinates differ, please correct this as follows:

Modifier Mouse actions can be modified by combinations of keys. This makes it possible, for example, to mark related or individual elements using the mouse.

Initial Action Delay [ms] (default: 500 ms) You can enter a delay of between 0 and 999999999 ms between the cursor movement and the start of the actual mouse action. This would be necessary, for example, if a clickable element only becomes visible when the mouse pointer is hovered over it. Select the checkbox next to Enable initial action delay to enable this.

Enable initial action delay enables the Initial Action Delay property to be used.

Other wizard functionality

Move mouse action up/down moves the selected mouse action up or down in the table. The ID of the action remains unchanged. Mouse actions are performed in the order in which they appear in the table, regardless of their ID.

Add mouse action It is possible to add a mouse action that you configure solely using the wizard rather than actually capturing it.

Hide this window when capturing (default: enabled) If this option is enabled, the Mouse Action Wizard window is hidden while mouse actions are captured.

Hide main window when capturing (default: enabled) If this option is enabled, the RPA Builder window is hidden while mouse actions are captured.

Relative To (default: none) The position where the mouse action is to be performed can be defined based on a previously executed Action Step (see also Inbound Variables).

Mouse click timing (see Properties).

If the coordinate relative to which the mouse action is to be performed is not yet known at the time of designing the mouse action, a notification will appear. Click OK to confirm.

Then click the mouse to set an anchor point at the position where you expect the coordinate to be and which the mouse action relates to.

Then capture the other mouse actions that relate to this.

At runtime, the anchor point will be replaced with the actual coordinate that is calculated at the time.
