How to handle UnexpectedWindow/Overlapping window using the script or General Events?

Hi All,   My application throws popup for every 3-5 Min. Script can proceed further by clicking on Ok button in the popup.   But how to recognise this popup using testcomplete dynamically?   Ex...

    Hi All,

     

    As a workaround, I got the better solution to handle Windowless popup(Model Based popup) 

     

    By using Timer Object we can overcome this problem. Write the following code in event handlers.

     

    OnStartTest:

    Sub OnStartTest(Sender)
  Dim MyTimer
  Set MyTimer = Utils.Timers.Add(8000, "unit1.TimerRoutine", True)
  MyTimer.Name = "ModelPopUp"
  Log.Message "Timer ON"
End Sub

    OnStopTest:

    Sub OnStopTest(Sender)
  Utils.Timers.Items("ModelPopUp").Enabled = False
  Log.Message "Timer OFF"
End Sub

    unit1.TimerRoutine:

    Function TimerRoutine
  'write the code to check whether popup exists or Not
  If popup=True Then
     'close popup (or) Click
  End If
End Function

    Before script starts, the controller will go to OnStartTest and activate Timer Object. Once Timer triggers, TestComplete pauses the test to run the timer’s routine. The test is resumed after the timer routine has finished running.

     

    So for every 8sec, i am checking whether Windowless popup(Model Based popup) exists or not. For more details on Timer object click here

Thanks dude for your support :smileyhappy:

 

Is there anyway to identify Model Window popup dynamically while script execution process i.e like General Events(UnexpectedWindow/Overlapping)?

There's not a way to create custom events to be handled in the same way.

 

However, you could create a Timer Object (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/82264/) that would execute every so many seconds. It's not an event handler necessarily but you could set up a timer that would check to see if the window exists and, if it does, click the OK button on it.
