Which Scraping method should be used for the Get Text activity to capture hidden text from an application?
The Get Text activity in UiPath Studio is used to extract and copy the text from a UI element. It has a property called Scraping method, which allows you to choose the method of scraping text from the target element. The available methods are Default, Text attribute, Full text, and Native.
The Default method tries all the other methods and chooses the best one automatically. The Text attribute method uses the text value of the target element as the output. The Native method uses the native method of the application to scrape the text, and allows formatting and screen coordinates to be retrieved. The Full text method uses an OCR engine to scrape the text, and offers the option to Ignore hidden text, which can be activated by selecting its respective check box.
To capture hidden text from an application, the Full text method with the Ignore hidden text option enabled should be used. This way, the Get Text activity can retrieve the text that is not visible on the screen, but is present in the UI element. For example, this method can be used to get the text from a combo box that has more items than the ones displayed, or from a terminal window that has more editable text than the ones shown.
