Hello,
Could you please provide some screenshots to help me see what you are trying to do and what type of controls you are working with?
Thanks,
Chris

Please post some screenshots. You might try adding the controls from the Windows Controls tab to see if that works though as the dialog may be blocking the thread we interrogate with.

I bet that the file dialog is modal. To automate this, you will need to execute the PerformClick that generates it at the same time as the WaitForCreate (and all associated steps to populate it and close it). To do this, use a Parallel Process from the Toolbox. On the upper thread, trigger the PerformClick method that will generate the box. This method will not return until the box is closed. On the second thread, you may WaitForCreate for the box and then populate it and ultimately close it. Use the bottom thread for continuing on to the next step in your automation. I have attached an example from another solution I have worked with. Let me know if this works for you.

Sanst, if u don't mind could u address my other issue i listed in the attached document related to dynamic controls.
Problem statement: on changing dropdown value textbox should appear dynamically but not appearing though the value is changed.
tried raise event,blur,focus etc.

this is the html
<div class="field-item dataValueWrite">
<select data-ctl="["Dropdown"]" id="ContactPartyType" name="$PpyWorkPage$pContactPartyType" validationtype="required" data-change="[["refresh", ["thisSection","", "createClaimPartyPage", "&=", "", ",",":event","","pyWorkPage"]]]" style="width:auto">

That one might be best to rain an SR on and have someone look at it with you as I can't really give you a specific answer without examining the exact controls. I suspect some JavaScript work will be required to get the events to trigger for all of the parents of the control. If you do raise an SR, please update this post (or the original one) with the number so it can be tracked.

Hi Sindhu,
For assistance with creating an SR, refer the following article-
Let us know the SR number here within the thread so that we can tag it along with the thread.
Hope the information is helpful.

Hi Sindhu,
It would be best to reach out to your Pega account Executive to set this up for you. You could also call into the support phone numbers listed here: Support Contact Information

Sindhu,
Did you get this to work? I had exactly the same problem with a Pega site. I resolved it exactly the way sasnt described it above in his screenshot. You get into a "Catch-22" situation where it won't continue past the "perform click" until the file is selected. So use that Parallel Process so that it does the "PerformClick" on one leg and does a WaitForCreate then selects the file on the other leg. On mine, I just continued on the file selection leg, but it might be more elegant/correct to use come out of the bottom of the tile as sasnt did.
