How to automate elements in windows notification area

Anonymous — Fri, 23 Nov 2018 19:25:00 GMT

Hello, I am trying to automate an application which when launches does not appear in the taskbar, but only in the windows notification area/tray. I am unable to spy this element, or open the menu through keystrokes. Is there a way in Blueprism to automate the Windows notification area? Appreciate any help on this. Attached is the image of notification area which i need to automate. Regards, Hemanth RPA Developer

Hi Hemanth.harihareswar I helped another person in this forum with a similar issue. You have to create a object that has ""explorer"" as input in the Windows process name of the target application. Please see https://portal.blueprism.com/forums/technical-queries/spyingapplication-integration/how-spy-windows-10-taskbar-click . If you look at my last comment https://portal.blueprism.com/comment/30239 in the above thread, I provided a object export, that can locate a specific program in the notification bar. You should be able to reuse that object, with minimal to no changes required. Hope that can help you. Good luck. BR, Mustafa
