How to click Yes button in Alert Warning Window

[candyania]

I tried to use controlclick to click "Yes" button in an Alert Warning window, code is like:

WinWait("Security Warning");

WinActivate("Security Warning");

ControlClick("Security Warning", "","Yes");

what's weird is it cannot work for Yes button, but work well for No button...if change code as:

WinWait("Security Warning");

WinActivate("Security Warning");

ControlClick("Security Warning", "","No");

and I also tried ControlClick("Security Warning", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]");//Yes button is the first button in the alert window

but still cannot work successfully to click Yes button.

Do anyone know the reason why??

What are the contents of the window info tool?

i don't know whether you mean ie develop tool bar as you mentioned window info tool, but it cannot work when there is popup alert window, when i tried to use the tool, always ask me to click alert window first

To display a picture you first need to upload it to an image host.

For example http://photobucket.com/

there are many more, can you not just paste the text of the summary?

In your Autoit v3 start menu folder there should be a program called window info.

This looks like IE security window.

You can configure IE to not display such warnings.

Put the original site in the trusted zone - this may solve your issue.

I have checked the button with window info tool, and the Yes button is instance:2, so i modified code as:

ControlClick("Security Warning", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]");

However, i can see the focus moved to Yes button, but seems there is no Click action...don't understand why

Info grabbed by tool show as:

Class Button

Instance 2

ClassnameNN Button2

Advanced Mode [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]

ID 1

Text Yes

More info of this button:

Advanced Mode [CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]

ID 1

Text Yes

Position 215,96

I tried to locate the Yes button by adding x, y like:

ControlClick("Security Warning", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]",,215,96);

but seems the format is not correct, function reference for controlclick is like:

ControlClick("title","text",controlID [, button [, clicks [, x[, y]]]])

do anyone know how to resolve this?

I do add the site into my trust list, but still the warning msg will popup.

[JohnOne]

post your code you are trying, in autoit tags

[autoit]

your code here

[/autoit]

Also try a double click

[Juvigy]

On the security window there are 2 sites. THe second one is in your trust list but are you sure the first one is there?

I have a similar issue.

Here is my code:

ShellExecuteWait("folder\file.reg")
    WinWait("[Class:#32770]")
    WinActivate("[Class:#32770]")
    ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]");

I also tried with the name of the window - "Registry editor" instead of the class, but still nothing happens.

What I'm trying to do:

-Use ShellExecuteWait in order to run a reg file - this works fine

-When the Registry Editor confirmation window appears "Are you sure you want to add the information .... into the registry" I want to click on the Yes Button, but using the above code has no results.

Usually with the security warnings I've found that the program that launched it cannot click the buttons - So I just create a simple While...WEnd loop in another script compile it and call it before that security warning appears. Its not the best solution but it works.

Edit:

And for John H - Change ShellExecuteWait to just ShellExecute - The msgbox is still considered part of the program you told it to run so AutoIT won't continue until the MsgBoxs are gone.

Hey LurchMan,

Thanks for the tip.

It's working fine now.

Hey LurchMan,

Thanks for the tip.

For future reference as well, Don't piggy back on a topic with your issue - they weren't quite the same. Just create a new post next time.

[JohnH]

Yup, you're right. I'll do that.

candyania's issue was related to a Alert Warning Window, mine window was a simple one.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I am very new to Autoit. I was having a problem(see the attachment) while handling the java security warning popup window but it is fixed now using the below code.

 

I am able to click on Allow button using the below code. 

ShellExecuteWait("folder\file.reg")
    WinWait("[Class:#32770]")
    WinActivate("[Class:#32770]")
    ControlClick("[Class:#32770]", "","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]"); 

 But my question is : I want to verify whether that warning popup window is coming or not in the page using "if" condition. If it will come then only i will click on Allow otherwise no need to click on simply ignore. Can anyone please suggest me How to accomplish this?

With Best Regards,

Sudhansu.

So I suggest not to necro such an old thread but to open a new one
