Processing the child window when it pops up

Post by jiby » Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:56 pm

Hi,

I am trying to install one application. In the middle of installation, an confirmation window pops up. In that pop up window I have to click 'yes'. And then the installation window continues.

Now, I am doing it in this way.
1. Start the installation and wait for 3 minutes(within this time, the popup would be displayed and waiting for user inputs)
2. Search for window that has text 'yes'. Focus on that window and pushbutton 'yes'

I want to know a method by which I can detect whenever window pops up, and click 'yes'(avoiding the waiting time).

CAUTION: The title of popup window is not same always.

Thanks in advance.

Use OnEvent with a WINDOW_OPEN event handler. In the event handler subroutine search the active window for the Yes button .....
