Implementation

Assemble a robot scheme with the actions:
Set the "Run" action parameters.
Set the parameters of the "Scroll to element" action. The element must be obtained using the WinSpy tool. Working with WinSpy is described in the Получение win-элемента section. Setting a timeout does not, in general, increase the execution time of an action beyond the time it takes for the item used in the action to become visible and accessible. During the set timeout, the action tries to access the element it is working with. As soon as the item is available, the waiting timeout expires.
Click "Start" in the top panel.
