Answer 1

Hey @Pragati, you can use Native Citrix recording for automating a desktop application like doing a calculation on calculator using UiPath studio. Perform this automation step by step for better understanding:

1. Open the Calculator window and create a new Sequence in UiPath Studio.
2. From the Recording menu, select Native Citrix. The Native Citrix Recording wizard is displayed.
   
    
3. Then use the Click function on the necessary buttons on the Calculator to perform a simple operation. In this case, we click on 5, +, 9, and =. Select Copy Text from the Recording Wizard, and click on the Calculator results field.
4. Now click Save & Exit in the Recording Wizard. This adds a Native Citrix container to our automation project, which holds the necessary Click activities, as well as the Get Text activity to retrieve the result.
   
    
5. Add a Message Box activity below the Native Citrix container. In the Text field of the activity, write ”The number is ” + TextResult.ToString. where TextResult variable is delivered by the Get Text activity. Make sure the TextResult variable is in the Sequence scope.
