UI Automation Activities
Last updated Nov 25, 2024
TypeInto
Enters text in a specified UI element, for example a text box. You can also send special keys like Tab or Enter to the UI element.
If you want to enter sensitive information securely, add a GetCredential API before this API and select the saved for later username and password values from that API as the text to type.
Namespace: UiPath.UIAutomationNext.API.Models
Assembly: UiPath.UIAutomationNext.API.Models (in UiPath.UIAutomationNext.API.Models dll)
| Overload | Description |
|---|---|
TypeInto(TargetAnchorableModel, String) | Enters text in a specified UI element, identified as a string from the Object Repository. |
TypeInto(TargetAnchorableModel,
TypeIntoOptions) | Enters text in a specified UI element, identified as a
TargetAnchorableModel object.
|
TypeInto(String, String) | Enters text in a specified UI element, identified as a string from the Object Repository. |
TypeInto(String, TypeIntoOptions) | Enters text in a specified UI element, identified as a string from the Object Repository, along with other configurations. |
Enters text in a specified UI element, identified as a string from the Object Repository.

TargetAnchorableModelobject. typeIntoOptionsTypeIntoOptions- The following options are available:
Text String- The text that you want to type into.DelayBetweenKeys Double- Delay (in seconds) between consecutive keystrokes. The default value is 0.02 seconds.ActivateBefore Boolean- If true, the specified UI element is brought to the foreground and activated before the text is typed in. If false, the API will type into the current active window.ClickBeforeMode NClickMode- the type of click to perform before typing into:NoneSingleDouble
EmptyFieldMode NEmptyFieldMode-Choose whether to delete the existing content in the field before typing the text, and how to empty the field. Fields are emptied by sending a combination of keystrokes that differs between fields with a single line and fields with multiple lines. Make sure to select the right option depending on the indicated field. The options are:
NoneSingleLineMultiLine
DeselectAfter Boolean- This can only be used when theInteractionModeis set toSimulate. Some target applications do not register a type action unless a Complete event is also sent alongside the action. Setting this to true adds a Complete event after the text entry, in order to register the action correctly. If you set it to false, the Complete event is not sent to the target application. By default, this is set to true.AlterIfDisabled Boolean- If set to true, the Select Item action is executed even if the specified UI element is disabled. This parameter does not apply if theInteractionModeis set toHardware Events. By default, this is false.InteractionMode NChildInteractionMode- Specifies the API used to perform the action. The following options are available:SameAsCard- Use the same input mode as Open or Attach. This is the default selection.HardwareEvents- Uses the hardware driver to perform the action. This is the slowest API, it cannot work in the background, but it is compatible with all desktop apps.Simulate- Simulates the action using accessibility APIs. Recommended in browser automation, Java apps, or SAP. More reliable than Hardware Events. Sends all text in a single action. Works even if the target application is not in focus. Please test if your target application UI element supports this.DebuggerApi- Performs actions using debugger APIs. Works for Chromium elements only. Sends all text in one go. Works even if the target application is not in focus. For more details, check out this page.WindowMessages- Sends the mouse and keyboard input through Win32 messages. Recommended for desktop apps. Usually more reliable than Hardware Events. Sends all text in a single action. Works even if target app is not in focus. Please test if your target application UI element supports this.
