I found using string.Format to be very much useful and less error prone while using dynamic stuff instead of typing ' "+ something +' "

For example, below 2 lines are doing the same thing but second one is more readable


"<webctrl tag='INPUT' type='text' idx='"+counter.ToString+"' />"


string.Format("<webctrl tag='INPUT' type='text' idx='{0}' />", counter.ToString)

(This would be very useful when there are multiple placeholders to be replaced in a string)

Hi Anders!
It is a great video, it was helpful to me, but I was wondering if we can accelerate the time of the "find element" activity in order to find the target/label faster as well as to accelerate the "Type into" activity.
Thank you in andvance.

Hi Andres,

I am using GetVisibleText to extract from a list view. How I can get the number of row available from the output.

I have a third party program and I cannot select or type into text field. Every time I try to select element inside the window it keep selecting the whole program. Uipath is acting like it is a picture and i cannot select inside the program.

After I configure dynamic selectors the bot became extremely slow. Although it actually finds the selectors in IE, it takes half hour aprox, do you happen to know how to make it faster?
