Is Enabled

Checks whether a UI element is enabled or disabled.

Common Properties

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Inputs

  • Handle - The handle of the window containing the element.
  • Window Selector - The selector for identifying the target window.
  • Element Selector - The selector for identifying the target element.

Output

  • Enabled - Boolean value indicating whether the element is enabled (true) or disabled (false).

How It Works

The Is Enabled node checks whether a UI element is enabled or disabled. When executed, the node:

  1. Uses the Window Selector and Element Selector to locate the target element
  2. Checks the IsEnabled property of the element
  3. Sets the output variable "Enabled" to true if the element is enabled, false otherwise

Requirements

  • Both Window Selector and Element Selector are required to identify the target element

Error Handling

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Window Selector or Element Selector
  • Element not found

Usage Notes

  • This node is useful for conditional logic based on the enabled state of UI elements
  • Disabled elements typically cannot be interacted with (clicked, typed into, etc.)
  • The output value can be used in decision nodes or stored for later use
  • An element may be disabled due to application logic, user permissions, or other factors
