* **UIOActivity** - Activity of the UIO (UI object) from the Pywinauto module
* **UIOEI** - UI Object info object
### What is UIO?
UIO is a User Interface Object (pyOpenRPA terminology). For maximum compatibility, this instance is inherited from the object model developed in the [pywinauto library (click to get a list of available class functions)]([https://pywinauto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code/pywinauto.base_wrapper.html](https://pywinauto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code/pywinauto.base_wrapper.html)).
This approach allows us to implement useful functionality that has already been successfully developed in other libraries, and Supplement it with the missing functionality. In our case, the missing functionality is the ability to dynamically access UIO objects using UIO selectors.
### UIOSelector structure & example
<aname=”UIOSelector_Structure_Examples”></a>
UIOSelector is the list of condition items for the UIO in GUI. Each item has condition attributes for detect applicable UIO. Here is the description of the available condition attributes in item.

[
{
“depth_start” :: [int, start from 1] :: the depth index, where to start check the condition list (default 1),
“depth_end” :: [int, start from 1] :: the depth index, where to stop check the condition list (default 1),
“ctrl_index” || “index” :: [int, starts from 0] :: the index of the UIO in parent UIO child list,
“title” :: [str] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *title*,
“title_re” :: [str] :: regular expression (python ver) for the condition for the UIO attribute *title*,
“rich_text” :: [str] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *rich_text*,
“rich_text_re” :: [str] :: regular expression (python ver) for the condition for the UIO attribute *rich_text*,
“class_name” :: [str] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *class_name*,
“class_name_re” :: [str] :: regular expression (python ver) for the condition for the UIO attribute *class_name*,
“friendly_class_name” :: [str] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *friendly_class_name*,
“friendly_class_name_re” :: [str] :: regular expression (python ver) for the condition for the UIO attribute *friendly_class_name*,
“control_type” :: [str] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *control_type*,
“control_type_re” :: [str] :: regular expression (python ver) for the condition for the UIO attribute *control_type*,
“is_enabled” :: [bool] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *is_enabled*. If UI object is enabled on GUI,
“is_visible” :: [bool] :: the condition for the UIO attribute *is_visible*. If UI object is visible on GUI,
“backend” :: [str, “win32” || “uia”] :: the method of UIO extraction (default “win32”). ATTENTION! Current option can be only for the first item of the UIO selector. For the next items this option will be implemented from the first item.
### The UIDesktop module (OpenRPA/Robot/UIDesktop.py)
The UIDesktop is extension of the pywinauto module which provide access to the desktop apps by the **win32** and **ui automation** dll frameworks (big thx to the Microsoft :) ).
Try to restore (maximize) window, if it’s minimized. (!IMPORTANT! When use UIA framework minimized windows doesn’t appear by the UIOSelector. You need to try restore windows and after that try to get UIO)
* **Parameters**
**inSpecificationList**– UIOSelector - List of items, which contains condition attributes
Wait for many UI object will disappear in GUI for inWaitSecs seconds.
* **Parameters**
* **inSpecificationListList** – UIOSelector list.
Example: [
> [{“title”:”notepad”},{“title”:”OK”}],
> [{“title”:”notepad”},{“title”:”Cancel”}]
]
* **inWaitSecs** – Float value (seconds) for wait UI element disappear in GUI
* **inFlagWaitAllInMoment** – True - Wait all UI objects from the UIOSelector list to be disappeared.
* **Returns**
List of index, which UI object UIO will be disappeared. Example: [1] # Disappear only UI object with UIO selector: [{“title”:”notepad”},{“title”:”Cancel”}]
