Scripting to continue with popup window
Hi,
I am having trouble to write a vbscript which checks if the pop-up window has appeared and then if its there, then click on "Cancel" button and if its not there, then procced to the next testscript. I have wrote as below,
if Aliases.DataAcquisition.WinFormsObject("AutomatedStatusChangeUIControl").Exists Then
Aliases.DataAcquisition.WinFormsObject("AutomatedStatusChangeUIControl").WinFormsObject("btnCancel").ClickButton
Else
Call Test 1
end if
The problem here is that, if the "AutomatedStatusChangeUIControl" does now appear, its always giving an error. How can i make it skip the window popup can continue.
Thanks for helping,
Sudha
This is a common mistake. If you think about it, how do you check the "Exists" property of an object that does not exist? If the object does not exist, it won't even have an "Exists" property. So, you need to first attempt to locate the object. That is done using either a Wait method or a Find method. Taking your code from below, I would use WaitWinFormsObject (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/window-and-process/waitwinformsobject-method.html). HEre's how I'd change your code.
if Aliases.DataAcquisition.WaitWinFormsObject("AutomatedStatusChangeUIControl", 5000).Exists Then Aliases.DataAcquisition.WinFormsObject("AutomatedStatusChangeUIControl").WinFormsObject("btnCancel").ClickButton Else Call Test 1 end if
