Dialog handling problems

[kovyar]

Hi all,

I'd like to get some information about a dialog window when I close it, so I try to use code like that:

public void Test1()
{
    Settings settings = new Settings(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, @"d:\log\");
    settings.UnexpectedDialogAction = UnexpectedDialogAction.DoNotHandle;
    Manager manager = new Manager(settings);
    manager.Start();
    manager.LaunchNewBrowser();

    manager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://aspspider.ws/kovyar/confirm.htm");

    Element confButton = manager.ActiveBrowser.Find.ById("confirmbutton");

    manager.DialogMonitor.AddDialog(new GenericDialog(manager.ActiveBrowser, "Explorer", true, 1));
    manager.DialogMonitor.Dialogs[0].HandlerDelegate = delegate(IDialog dialog)
    {
        Trace.WriteLine(dialog.Window.Caption);
        Trace.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[0].Caption);
        Trace.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[1].Caption);
        Trace.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[2].Caption);
        Trace.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[3].Caption);
        Manager.Current.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, dialog.Window.AllChildren[1].Location);
    };
    manager.DialogMonitor.Start();
    (new HtmlControl(confButton)).Click();

    Thread.Sleep(5000);
    manager.DialogMonitor.Stop();
    manager.Dispose();
}

The idea of writing this stuff is here: see "Creating custom dialog handlers" section.
Still it doesn't work at all. The button is pressed, the dialog appears and I collect all the required information (see trace after run).
But the "Cancel" button isn't clicked while the code is very the same as given at the Artoftes site.

OS: WinXP, browser: IE7.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Yaroslav

Hello kovyar,

The code:

manager.Current.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, dialog.Window.AllChildren[1].Location);

wants to click on the 2nd child window of the dialog window (the index is 0 based, so 1 means the 2nd array item). Are you sure this is the Cancel button? A Spy++ utility is needed to deconstruct the dialog. If it's trying to click on a button you should see the mouse move and something get clicked. Do you see the mouse move somewhere? Where does it move to?

You might be better off searching for the Cancel button (assuming it is a Win32 window) and then clicking on the window it found using code like this:

Window cancelButton = WindowManager.FindWindowRecursively(dialog.Window.Handle, "Cancel", false, 0);
manager.Current.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, cancelButton.Location);

All the best,

Hi, Cody

Actually, before posting the trouble, I've checked:
1) all the captions of the first four child windows (see trace)
2) location of the button I'm trying to click, and it was the same as Cancel button location

Then I've tried your code with the same result as mine (I mean, no result). BTW, the found Window object is the same for your and my code.

Concerning mouse moves: no, it doesn't move at all. The test simply hangs with the dialog on top of the browser window.
I suggest that Webaii is unable to control Manager.Desktop while alert/confirm dialog is open.
By the way, all the attempts to simulate spacebar or enter key press failed as well.

All the best,
Yaroslav

Hello kovyar,

I did some more research on this and find you are right about mouse actions. I'm going to file a bug on this.

As an alternative you could use a KeyPress instead like this:

manager.DialogMonitor.Dialogs[0].HandlerDelegate = delegate(IDialog dialog)
{
    Log.WriteLine(dialog.Window.Caption);
    Log.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[0].Caption);
    Log.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[1].Caption);
    Log.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[2].Caption);
    Log.WriteLine(dialog.Window.AllChildren[3].Caption);
    Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.KeyPress(Keys.Enter);
    //Manager.Current.Desktop.Mouse.Click(MouseClickType.LeftClick, dialog.Window.AllChildren[1].Location);
};

The Keys.Enter is defined in the System.Windows.Forms assembly.

Sincerely yours,
