I'm trying to drag and drop and UI element using chrome ,spied the element using UIA and got "UIA X" and "UIA Y" to use them as x/y coordinates for dragging and moving. Looks like these are not correct coordinates.
Can somebody help with on how to get x and y coordinates for drag and drop.

I honestly don't think I've ever used Drag & Drop for anything other than simulating the mouse hover action in the past, so I don't have much experience with issues regarding X/Y for that action. Let me know if this doesn't help, and I can do some testing to see if I can find a reliable way to use it.

Using XY coordinates in automation its not that much trustworthy as if resolution get changed or application is not maximized it wont work.
Could you please let us know what is the issue so we can suggest you other option.

Hi Dave,
I have an use case in a website opened in chrome(Browser Mode) I need to drag and drop a file from a directory tree like structure to some other directory location (say 5 different folders) based on the user input.
Any lead on Drag and Drop without using the co-ordinates. Because the coordinates method is not reliable every time.
Thanks in Advance!

My original suggestion still stands though, I think, and that is to use whatever spy modes and elements you need to in order to identify the X and Y coordinates on the screen of the elements that you need to work with, and then try Drag and Drop with those coordinates. I just don't see this working any other way with the features I'm aware of in Blue Prism. I think it'd be a great enhancement request as well if you can figure out the scope of changes required in Blue Prism. I haven't found very many business processes that require drag and drop personally so I'd probably be tearing my hair out if I were in your position. =)

Spy the element using region mode, and use the "Start Drag" and "Drop onto" Action in the Navigate stage.

UIA mode or Region Mode is not consistent. The X Y coordinates are not stable.
Is there anyone who could assist in using python or js scripting for this?
