Popup window freezes script

[FillanTroop]

Hi guys, 

My situation is: 

I am trying to navigate to some page, which immediately displays popup asking for domain credentials. And exactly in that moment script freezes and no luck to find a solution. 

second example from help >> _IEAction does not work for some reason. Maybe its because there is no page loaded at the moment and therefore I can't use _IEAction focus or _IEGetObjectByName first. 

Can I ask how you guys are handling this kind of events? I am going to make some automation that will use Excel soon and I expect there will be several situations like that. Is the only solution to run external script that will handle the Popup?

If processexists("iexplore.exe") Then
    Local $Ierun = WinActivate ("Internet Explorer")
        Sleep (300)
    Global $IEVIM = _IEAttach ("", "instance",1)
            Local $hWnd = _IEPropertyGet($IEVIM, "hwnd")
            Local $oSubmit = _IEGetObjByID ($IEVIM, "40960") ;THIS IS ACTUALLY THE IE TOOLBAR! THERE IS NO OBJECT INSIDE OF THE PAGE :(
                _IEAction($oSubmit, "focus")
        _IENavigate ($IEVIM, "http://somedomainapp.com/system.aspx?path=%2fexp")
            
          Sleep (3000)
                     WinWait("Windows Security", "", 3)
                ControlSend("Windows Security", "Cancel", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "myPWD")
                ControlSend("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:2]", "domain\mememe")
                ControlSend("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "myPWD")
                ControlClick("Windows Security", "", "[CLASS:Button; TEXT:OK; Instance:1;]")

                Sleep (1500)
                

Else
                                                            
Global $IEHUB = _IECreate ("http://somedomainapp.com/system.aspx?path=%2fexp")
Sleep (1500)
Call ("Login")
EndIf

Any ideas? Hints? Heeeeelp? :-)

Thank you!

The page will never fully load with that message box, I assume.

Switch the wait param on _ienavigate to 0.

GENIUS!!!! Thanks a lot! It works! I thought that the script actually execute the command and goes to another line, not that it actually waits for the result. 

And just for myself to know. Is it true what I found about Pop-ups in general? That sometimes i will need to run external script or there is always a way like the one you just showed to me?

Yes, if a similar message box is present after _ieaction($osomething,"click"), then the _ieaction will not return until after the message box is closed.

There are workarounds:

_IEaction($oSomething,"focus")

And then, controlsend {enter} at the browser.

Great! Thank you again, now it makes perfect sense to me.
