Open and interrogate File Chooser dialog with Universal Web Adapter
Hi, I'm working on a form-filling process in MS Edge. The automation needs to redirect the end-user to the needed web page, fill out the form fields, and upload attachments if there are any. The end-user will be responsible for clicking Submit.
I'm having trouble popping up a file chooser and interrogating it. This answer works seamlessly with Internet Explorer but not so much with Edge. PerformClick happens but there is no popup because "File chooser dialog can only be shown with a user activation". And apparently with a universal web adapter the dialog cannot be interrogated despite HookChildProcesses being True.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

@ThaoP932 Currently, we do not have the ability to interrogate these controls via the adapter. There is a way to work with them however. Here is a post that should help once you trigger the control.

To trigger the control, I generally use the SendKeys method here (assuming nothing else is working).
