UiARD Exam - Question 12


A developer was assigned a task to build a process that will interact with hidden or minimized windows on an employee's machine.

To ensure the UI automation runs in the background which commonly used activity property must always be avoided?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B,C

The Activate property should always be avoided when performing UI automation that runs in the background and interacts with hidden or minimized windows. This is because the Activate property brings the specified UI element to the foreground to interact with it. If the window needs to remain in the background or is minimized, using Activate would contradict that requirement, making the automation fail to interact correctly with the hidden or minimized window.

Should be A, as Default (Hardware) doesn't work in background. https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2022.10/user-guide/input-methods

To ensure that the UI automation runs in the background and interacts with hidden or minimized windows on an employee's machine, it is important to avoid using the "SimulateType" property on activities that involve typing or keyboard input. The "SimulateType" property is used to simulate the typing of text or keyboard input without actually sending the input to the application's window. This property is commonly used to speed up the automation process and to reduce the risk of errors caused by the timing of the input. However, when interacting with hidden or minimized windows, using the "SimulateType" property can cause issues because it relies on the application window being active and in the foreground. If the window is hidden or minimized, the input will not be sent correctly, and the automation process may fail.

Default isn't an activity property. The "default method" simulates the keystrokes using the hardware driver. Activate is a property of the TypeInto activity. By default, the checkbox is selected. When true/checked, the specified UI element is brought to the foreground and activated before the text is written. Answer is C.
