C# How to close all IE POP-UPs if there is no title???

[iameaten]

Hi friends,

I am using Autoit in my C# application(AutoItX3Lib).

As per my application I am crawling different client websites through stimulating IE and Firefox browser.

I am facing popup problem , because during crawling few popups come at any time and they hang the application in between until I close appropriate button(like OK, Cancel etc).

I have managed few well known popups with below code.

expandcollapse popup

using System.Text;
using AutoItX3Lib;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace PopupController
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void popupcontr_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
    AutoItX3Class aX3C; 
            try
            {
             aX3C = new AutoItX3Class();
             aX3C.AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4);
        
                /////////////////////
                //// TITLE PART : when there is proper title...
             //http://code.google.com/p/scite-ru/source/browse/trunk/pack/api/au3.api
              
                ///////////////////
               if (1 == aX3C.WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Internet Explorer.*]", ""))
                {
                    aX3C.WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Internet Explorer.*]", "");
                    aX3C.WinClose("[REGEXPTITLE:.*Microsoft Internet Explorer.*]", "");
                }

                if (1 == aX3C.WinExists("Opening favicon.ico", ""))
                {
                    aX3C.WinActivate("Opening favicon.ico", "");
                    
                    aX3C.WinClose("Opening favicon.ico", "");
                }
            
            
               
                if (1 == aX3C.WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Warning]", ""))
                {
                    if (aX3C.WinGetText("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Warning]", "").Length != 0)
                    {
                        aX3C.WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Warning]", "");
                        aX3C.WinClose("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Warning]", "");
                    }
                }

                if (1 == aX3C.WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Alert]", ""))
                {
                    if (aX3C.WinGetText("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Alert]", "").Length != 0)
                    {
                        aX3C.WinActivate("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Alert]", "");
                        aX3C.WinClose("[REGEXPTITLE:Security Alert]", "");
                    }
                }

                {

                    if (wintext.Contains("The certificate is only valid for"))
                    {
                        aX3C.WinActivate("", "The certificate is only valid for");
                        aX3C.WinClose("", "The certificate is only valid for");
                    }

                }
                 
                if (1 == aX3C.WinExists("", "The certificate is not trusted"))
                {
                    string wintext = aX3C.WinGetText("", "The certificate is not trusted");
                    if (wintext.Contains("The certificate is not trusted"))
                    {
                        aX3C.WinActivate("", "The certificate is not trusted");
                        aX3C.WinClose("", "The certificate is not trusted");
                    }

                }

For this I am collecting all different messages and title from AUTOIT and incorporate it in my coding and update my program everyday.

But it seems that it is endless process as I don’t know what kind of popups are there on Internet.

Questions

Is there any code to close all IE popups if title is available or not available???

How can I click ok , cancel button through program with minimum coding???

Guys Please help me as I am running out of time.

Thanks,

You could try inspecting the window class to see if the popup window has a different class than the main window.

Thanks Richard for your interest.

can you please provide more details on your reply. because i have done enormous R&D on this as u suggest but it is not working.

My problem is popwindow without title.

see attached screen shoot.

see my changed code

option 1

if (1 == jd.WinExists("", "Firefox can't find the server at"))
                {
                    string wintext = jd.WinGetText("", "Firefox can't find the server at");
                    if (wintext.Contains("Firefox can't find the server at"))
                    {
                        jd.WinActivate("", "Firefox can't find the server at");
                        jd.WinClose("", "Firefox can't find the server at");

                    }

                }

Option 2

if (1 == jd.WinExists("", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.202c666]"))
               {
                   String mm=jd.ControlGetHandle("", "[Class:#WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.202c666]", "&OK");
                   if (mm != "")
                   {
                       jd.WinActivate("", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.202c666]");

                       jd.WinClose("", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.202c666]");
                   }

               }

Both the options are not working.

any idea how can i close any IE Popups in one code.

Thanks,

You are talking about Internet Explorer, but the message box says Firefox. What exactly are you doing?

Also, that dialog is generated by your application, not the browser itself.

I am crawling client’s website and in my crawling application I have simulate IE and FireFox both.

So you are right that this is FF error not IE error.

Second things I am getting popups with TITLES like “Server Authentication” , “Opening favicon.ico” and “[REGEXPTITLE:Security Alert]” and many more.

And application is able to manage them properly.(you may be right that this popup are from application)

Question is still there how can I manage any popups If there is no title and popup contain button like OK,OK-CANCEL.

Because functions like WinExists ,WinActivate ,ControlClick of the Autoit required Title.

Please suggest me how to close any popup which has no title.

Thanks,

It really looks like your program is creating that smaller window. If it is, then you just need to not generate the window.

If matching by text doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you. If it is your own program, you can't dismiss the window without a second thread. Do you know how to make threads?
