How to Block IE Popup without "Send - {keys}"

[phelipea]

Hello!

I'm using ahk tool for a while and this forum helped me a lot! Thanks in advance for all your effort to help other users.

I'm facing some problem related to IE and COM, and my goal is to achieve a background automating using COM object instead of using the common ahk commands.

I'm copying info from an Excel tab and inserting those in a IE page, but almost every time the process ends (when I "click" on a Submit button), a Dialog Box pops up showing a message that I need to filter and an OK button for me to press in order to continue the whole process.

I'm intending to read the message that appears like this:

Code: Select all

if(InStr(pwb.Document.body.innerHTML, "Message that appears in the Popup"))

My question is: How can i disable this popup message (not just close it every time, because it'll still interrupt the user from other tasks when it flashes), in a way that I still could read the message that'll be shown and without blocking the Website to continue?

I've tried to Silent the handle like this:

Code: Select all

handleIE.silent := true

but didn't work. I tried to use this Persistent Script:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
SetTimer, ClosePopup, 50
return

ClosePopup:
WinClose, Title of the Dialog Box, Some Text inside the Dialog Box
return

and i didn't work again. I tried to get the Dialog Box by the class (there is only one class with that name in the HTML document) like this:

Code: Select all

handle.document.parentWindow.frames["main"].document.getElementsByClassName("alert-box alert")[0].close()

but again, didn't work. I tried to change the settings to block all Popups (and different configurations) but the message keps showing after almost every submit button clicked.

When I do the same process using Google Chrome and the Dialog Box appears, an option is showed as "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" and this solved the problem. How can I do this using IE? I'm tied up to IE because of the COMM object. I know it's possible to use Selenium libraries and JavaScript to perform this on Chrome, but the learning curve would be slower.


Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
