Special conditions of use
An error may occur when this action is running in 1C.
For example, there is a robot algorithm, as a result of which the robot must enter text in a field and click on a button.
1. In the "Send text" action ("Windows" action group) a field in 1C and the text for input are specified.
2. In the "Window focus element" action the "Record" button is specified.
3. The robot is active.
Result: the action enters the specified text into the field, but when you click on "Record", an error is displayed that the field is empty, as a result, the robot does not perform, the record is not created.
A temporary solution until the problem is fixed:
In the case of 1C, you need to send a "Key press" from the "Simulate system" group and specify the Backspace after the "Send text" action.
Example of use
Task

Implementation

- Set the "Send text" action parameters. Obtain the element with the WinSpy tool. More about working with WinSpy - Working with Win-elements
Setting a timeout, in general, does not lead to an increase in the execution time of the action beyond the time it will take for the element that we use 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 element is accessed, the waiting timeout ends.
- Click "Start" in the top panel.
Result
The program robot completed successfully.
The desired text is entered in the input field of the dialog box.
