Is there a method to handling modal dialog but not providing the title?

[Wesley Chen]

Hi, guys,

I mean that sometimes,  we know there is a modal dialog but we won't to know the title.

For following, we must provide a title. But I don't want to provide it sometimes.

=============================

    autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control')
#    ret=autoit.WinWait(title,"",180)                              # wait the popups for 3 minutes.
    ret=autoit.WinWait(title,"",60)                              # wait the popups for 3 minutes.

...

=============================

Any suggestion would be quite appreciated.
Thanks.
Wesley Chen.

Hi,
If you do not want to use title of the pop up then you can use the
hwnd command to close the pop up by just passing the caption of
button. Visit this URl for some sample examples.

Hi, Namit,
Your suggestion maybe good. I know some kinds of solution.
But if I use autoit, there is no title, how can I make it?
autoit=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.Control')   
ret=autoit.WinWait(title,"",60)

Thanks.

Hi Wesley,

There is a different technique to handling popups without autoit -
This will act only on the current ie window which watir is using not
any other browser.
The below will handle alert, confirm , prompt, auth dialog box.

Usage:
require 'watir'
iewin = Watir::IE.new
iewin.goto("http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit_view.asp?
filename=tryjs_alert")
iewin.button(:value, "Show alert box").click_no_wait
txt = iewin.clickprompt()
puts txt #prints the popup text

You would have to add the below code to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems
\watir-1.6.2\lib\watir\ie-class.rb (
add into module Watir, class IE

Hi, Tony,
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
:), 1) I can't find the below code;
2)will iewin.clickprompt( ) click the button on the pop up?  If it does, if on the pop up, there are two buttons such as "OK/Cancel", how to identify them?


Thanks.

Hi Wesley,

iewin.clickprompt() will click the button in the popup and return the
popup text.

This is the definition - def clickprompt(but="OK",txt ="", waitTime =
10)
iewin.clickprompt("CANCEL") # will click cancel button.. actually if
you pass in anything other than OK, cancel will be clicked.
iewin.clickprompt("OK") or iewin.clickprompt() will click the ok
button.
iewin.clickprompt("OK", "input text") #can be used to pass in values
into the prompt box.

iewin.clickprompt("OK", "", 20) #can increase the wait time for the
popup to occur. time = 20*0.2
will return '' if there is no popup.

Code is present here - http://pastie.org/595060
