Is there a script to detect message or alert boxes?

Post by usernamechan » Wed May 09, 2007 4:15 pm

I can't run my script to automate some Web processes unattended. Every time I leave it running for any extended period unattended, I would come back to some alert boxes needing a click on "ok". How do I detect these elements? For instance, the Web site goes into maintenance and pops up an alert box. What is the best way to handle this or similar types of occurrences?

Use a WINDOW_OPEN OnEvent handler to detect and process dialogs that appear randomly.

Can anyone give an example on how to use OnEvent to detect and process some random dialog?

Taken from the help file:

Code: Select all

OnEvent>WINDOW_OPEN,Notepad*,2,DoNotepad

Label>start
Wait>1
If>NotepadOpen=1
   Message>Notepad is open
Else
   Message>Notepad is not open
Endif
Goto>start

SRT>DoNotepad
Let>NotepadOpen=1
END>DoNotepad
Search for OnEvent in the help file or use the online help section at http://www.mjtnet.com/onlinehelp.htm
