# Click App Element

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

The _Click App Element_ action step lets you perform a number of click and/or invoke actions for an
App Element. _Invoke_ means the Microsoft API is addressed directly to execute the element function,
which means no mouse action is needed.

## Properties

- **Click App Element Settings**

  - **Initial Delay (ms)**

    Defines how long to wait before initially executing the configured action.

  - **(Additional) Modifier**

    An additional key or key combination that is active when the configured mouse action executes.

    The following choices are available: `None`, `Ctrl`, `Alt`, `Ctrl + Alt`, `Shift`,
    `Ctrl + Shift`, `Alt + Shift`, `Ctrl + Alt + Shift`.

  - **Mouse Action:**

    Only available in _Mouse Action_ operation mode. Defines which mouse action to execute.

    The following choices are available:

    - **None**

      Moves the mouse to the selected element and executes no action. This is equivalent to a
      _hover_.

    - **Left Click**

      Executes a single left-click.

    - **Middle Click**

      Executes a single click of the middle mouse button (usually the mouse wheel).

    - **Right Click**

      Executes a single right-click.

    - **Double Left Click**

      Executes a double left-click.

    - **Double Right Click**

      Executes a double right-click.

    - **Wheel up**

      Executes a _mouse wheel up_ action, corresponding to scrolling up one row.

    - **Wheel down**

      Executes a _mouse wheel down_ action, corresponding to scrolling down one row.

- **Operation mode**

  You can select here between _Invoke Element_ and _Mouse Action_.

  - **Invoke element**

    Communicates directly with the Microsoft API to execute the functions of the element; the mouse
    is not moved in this process.

  - **Mouse Action**

    Simulates the configured mouse action and moves the mouse to the target element.

- **Trigger count**

  Defines how often the configured action executes.

## Inbound Variables

- **Trigger Count**

- **Initial Delay**

- **XPath to Element**

- **Window Title**

## Outbound Variables

The Click App Element action step does not have any outbound variables.

## Wizard

In the **Mouse action**, Operation Mode you determine the type of the action (such as Double Left
Click), while **Trigger Count** defines the number of times this action is performed. The action
step ensures that the clicks are grouped correctly. In other words, a configured double-click is
executed directly, while a normal Left Click with two repetitions is executed with a time delay, to
ensure that Windows does not register a double-click.
