How to handle a dialog in Telerik Test Studio? (Error)

[Eric]

I am trying to record steps in Telerik Test Studio for a .NET application. A dialog with an OK button is created like so:

    DialogMessage dialog = new GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Messaging.DialogMessage("Successfully Saved", p => { });
                                dialog.Caption = "My Object Save Results";
                                dialog.Button = MessageBoxButton.OK;
                                dialog.Icon = MessageBoxImage.Information;
                                Messenger.Default.Send(dialog);

I can record myself clicking OK. But when the test runs again, it fails to handle the dialog properly, even if I try different things like hitting Enter, clicking the Close button, modifying the wait time values did not work either. Is this type of dialog not supported? I can't do an image compare test either because the dialog will not highlight as part of the DOM.

    InnerException:
    System.TimeoutException: Timed out waiting '5000' msec. for any dialog to be handled '1'

Hi Eric,

Please try out this code:

var dialog = ConfirmDialog.CreateConfirmDialog(ActiveBrowser, DialogButton.OK);

            Manager.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(dialog);

            Manager.DialogMonitor.Start();

            
Find.ByAttributes<HtmlAnchor>("title=Remove Table").Click();//Replace this row with the correct one which triggers the dialog

            
dialog.WaitUntilHandled();

            Manager.DialogMonitor.Stop();

Hope this helps.

Check what attributes are being used to detect the button.
You may need to change how the element is detected.
I have very good luck using ID and TagName to find buttons and many other elements.

Hi Sebastien,

You are absolutely right. Using a static ID to find the elements is the most reliable way to find an element.

Thank you for you input.
