    Hi,

    Do we have an approach to attach an existing IE (or any other browser) instance which is not lunched by WebAii ?  I am using WebAii version 2011.1.609.0. I am not able to find the methods. Could you please share code snippet or work around to attach the existing browser.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Siva

    Hi Sivaraj,

    Currently we do not have the ability in the framework to connect to an already opened browser. It is mandatory that it open a new browser in order to control it. We'd like to better understand your need for such a feature. Can you explain how having such a feature aid in your test automation?

    I hope to here from you soon!

    Hello Plamen,

    So, how to handle the case, when we need to attach to just new opened browser window after clicking on the link?

    Stas.

    "Browsers" Collection should have all open browser info, provided it is opened from webaii.

    Hello Stanislav,

    Here's sample code:
    // Set new browser tracking to enabled.
    // This will make all new browser instances connect to
    // the Manager.
    Manager.SetNewBrowserTracking(true);
     
    // Invoke the popup
    Actions.Click(mylink);
     
    // Wait for the new browser instance to connect.
    Manager.WaitForNewBrowserConnect("google.com", true, 3000);
     
    // disable new browser tracking
    Manager.SetNewBrowserTracking(false);
    As Naveen said, when the browser tracking is enabled, any new browser launched will be automatically added to the "Browsers" collection.

    Please see this article for more information.

    All the best,
    Plamen
