Can't get the DOM from a popup window

[cpuobsessed]

I am trying to automate a ticketing system used at work. While changing information in a ticket a popup window is created, I'm trying to get the form from this window without any luck

CODE

_IEImgClick($mnToolbar,"Change Problem Severity","alt")

WinWaitActive("Change Problem Severity")

$sev_window=WinGetHandle("Change Problem Severity")

$sev_DOM=_IEAttach($sev_window,"hwnd")

ConsoleWrite(_IEPropertyGet($sev_DOM,"locationurl"))

$sev_iedoc = $sev_DOM.application

$sev_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($sev_iedoc, "frmSeverity")

;attach the pop-up window to an IE object

$sev_choosesev = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_form,"severities")

$sev_addnote = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_form,"txtNote")

_IEFormElementSetValue($sev_choosesev, $new_severity)

_IEFormElementSetValue($sev_addnote, $new_note)

_IEFormImageClick($sev_DOM,"OK","alt")

The _IEFormGetObjByName always fails and the resulting element function fail.

Any help would be appreciated.

As a troubleshooting step, I suggest you add this after your _IEAttach so that you can validate the structure of that document:

ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($sev_DOM) & @CR)

Make certain you can find the frmSeverity in the displayed source. Perhaps there are frames.

I can't even get the HTML from the popup.

CODE

>Running:(3.2.2.0):E:\Program Files\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "E:\work\problemmanger.au3"

0E:\PROGRA~1\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2064) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

$sev_DOM=_IEAttach("Change Problem Severity","WindowTitle")
    ConsoleWrite(@error + @CRLF)

    $sev_iedoc = _IEDocGetObj($sev_DOM)
        ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($sev_DOM) + @CRLF)
    $sev_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($sev_DOM, "frmSeverity")
    
    ;attach the pop-up window to an IE object
        
    $sev_choosesev = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"severities")
    $sev_addnote = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"txtNote")

Returns this:

Why am I not getting an IE object?

[cpuobsessed]

This code fails:

WinWaitActive("Change Problem Severity")
    $sev_window=WinGetHandle("Change Problem Severity") 
    ConsoleWrite($sev_window + @CRLF)
    
    $sev_DOM=_IEAttach($sev_window,"hwnd")
    ConsoleWrite($sev_DOM + @CRLF)
    
    $sev_iedoc = _IEDocGetObj($sev_DOM)
    ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($sev_iedoc) + @CRLF)
    $sev_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($sev_iedoc, "frmSeverity")
    
    ;attach the pop-up window to an IE object
        
    $sev_choosesev = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"severities")
    $sev_addnote = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"txtNote")

With this message:

Am I not using _IEAttach correctly?

[DaleHohm]

The console messages don't match your code.

The console messages don't match your code.

That is exactly what happens, it isn't getting any object it can use from the IEAttach, no HTML is put out, no forms, nothing.

The $sev_DOM contains nothing that can be used.

[DaleHohm]

Again, the console messages don't match your code.

What does this" popup" look like? You may need to use the "popup" parameter with _IEAttach

Now the script crashes:

WinWaitActive("ManageNow : R1 Problem Management - Change Problem Severity - Windows Internet Explorer")
    $sev_window=WinGetHandle("ManageNow : R1 Problem Management - Change Problem Severity - Windows Internet Explorer") 
    ConsoleWrite($sev_window + @CRLF)
    
    $sev_DOM=_IEAttach($sev_window,"DialogBox")
    ConsoleWrite($sev_DOM + @CRLF)
    
    $sev_iedoc = _IEDocGetObj($sev_DOM)
    ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($sev_iedoc) + @CRLF)
    $sev_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($sev_iedoc, "frmSeverity")

gives this on the console:

CODE

[DaleHohm]

Sorry, forgot, that is an AutoIt regression in 3.2.2.0 fixed in 3.2.3.0 - see here

Since that is not released please edit IE.au3 and mod line 290 with the word-around.

Now I've got a but report, this code:

WinWaitActive("ManageNow : R1 Problem Management - Change Problem Severity - Windows Internet Explorer")
    $sev_window=WinGetHandle("ManageNow : R1 Problem Management - Change Problem Severity - Windows Internet Explorer") 
    ConsoleWrite($sev_window + @CRLF)
    
    $sev_DOM=_IEAttach("ManageNow : R1 Problem Management - Change Problem Severity","WindowTitle")
    ConsoleWrite($sev_DOM + @CRLF)
    MsgBox(0,"change sev location",_IEPropertyGet($sev_DOM,"locationurl") + @CRLF)
    
    ;$sev_iedoc = _IEDocGetObj($sev_DOM)
    ConsoleWrite(_IEDocReadHTML($sev_DOM) + @CRLF)
    $sev_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($sev_DOM, "frmSeverity")
    
    ;attach the pop-up window to an IE object
        
    $sev_choosesev = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"severities")
    $sev_addnote = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($sev_DOM,"txtNote")

Causes AutoIT to crash:

CODE

>"E:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "E:\work\problemmanger.au3" /autoit3dir "E:\Program Files\AutoIt3" /UserParams

!>AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819

>Exit code: -1073741819 Time: 54.747

I have tried a number of different options for _IEAttach, "WindowTitle" caused the crash. "dialogbox" does not return anything for "locationurl" in _IEPropertyGet.
