Hi
We are currently trying to automate a business process. Part of the process involves setting a date using a calendar control which is classified as a 'MonthView' control within VB6. This control is part of the 'Microsoft Windows Common controls-2 6.0 (sp6)' library.
We can spy the element in Blue Prism using Win32 mode, however we are experiencing issues with setting the date for the control.
We have the element type set to Month Calendar Picker.
This is allowing us to select the 'Set Value' option in a Navigate stage, which then asks for a 'DateTime' input. However, regardless of the data type used for the input (we have tried Text, Date and DateTime), we are receiving the same error as below;
Internal : Failed to perform step 1 in Navigate Stage 'Set Calendar Value' on page 'Death Reg' - Unable to parse string '' as a valid date time
We have also tried using a Write stage but this gives the following error;
Internal : Failed to perform step 1 in Write Stage 'Write to Calendar' on page 'Death Reg' - Set DateTime Value is not implemented for controls with class name 'MonthView20WndClass'
We have tried the following combinations;
01/08/2020 or 01/08/2020 00:00:00 as Text
01/08/2020 00:00:00 as a DateTime
01/08/2020 as a Date
Does anyone have any experience with anything similar and any advice?
Thanks in advance,
