Advanced Topics and Best Practices

Cloned Controls and UseKeys Property

When dealing with applications that generate multiple instances of controls, the UseKeys property is invaluable:

• Enabling Cloning: Set the UseKeys property for the highest-level control requiring cloning. This allows Robot Studio to manage all instances of the control through one interrogated object.

• Managing Instances: The Palette displays the number of attached instances for cloned controls, simplifying automation.

Best Practices

To ensure efficient and error-free automation:

• Control Matching: Use the appropriate match rules and test them thoroughly to ensure reliable control identification.

• Project Organization: Keep your Project Explorer well-organized, utilizing folders and the Globals container effectively.

• Testing and Debugging: Regularly test and debug your automations to catch issues early and ensure smooth execution.
