Hi,

Could you copy in your message the recorded file ?

aditya11ad commented 1 year ago

that can be done. but it won't be automation then.

I would like to study your use case. There is probably a problem with Pywinauto Recorder. Having the file generated by Pywinauto Recorder would help me a lot to solve it.

click -> 5 click -> multiply press -> 2 click ->equal

generated script : 

from pywinauto_recorder.player import *

    with UIPath(u"Calculator||Window->||Custom->||Group"):
        click(u"Number pad||Group->Five||Button")
    with UIPath(u"Calculator||Window->||Custom->||Group->Standard operators||Group"):
        click(u"Multiply by||Button")
        click(u"Equals||Button")

Thank you for your comprehensive description of this use case.

I've understood the problem: pressing key 2 is not captured by Pywinauto Recorder. This is because Pywinauto Recorder only captures keystrokes when a field is filled in by the user.

To make this use case work, a solution would be to enable the capture of all keyboard events.
