Here’s an example of how the “Click” activity works -
The following example illustrates how to right click on the value where the cursor
is already placed in the "PowerPoint Application." Here I am continuing from the
"MoveTo" activity example.
1. Open the existing workflow.
2. Drag and drop the "Click" activity onto the designer pane after the “MoveTo”
activity.
a. Double-click the activity.
b. Here, I am choosing the “ScreenOn” option to choose the active application as
“Powerpoint” application.
c. Moving to the “Function” as choosing the action as “RightClick” from the
drop-down.
3. Now, Execute the workflow.
The bot will move the cursor to the specified area and performs the click action.
