[SOLVED] How to send text to a popup in IE with Autoit

[nooneclose]

I need to send a string of text to this popup and click on the ok button to save it.

Here is the code I have so far:

expandcollapse popup

;Start IE 
Sleep(7000)
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com")
Sleep(500)
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$hIE = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd") ; Get Handle of the IE window
Sleep(500)
WinSetState($hIE, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

;Wait for a browser page load to complete
Sleep(3000)
_IENavigate($oIE, "https://properURL.com")
Sleep(8000)
_IELoadWait($oIE)

;Attach to a browser control embedded in another window
$oIE = _IEAttach("https://"properURL.com", url")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $oIE = ' & $oIE & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & '    Extended code: 0x' & Hex(@extended) & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
Sleep(2000)

;Get the title of the webpage
;Local $wTitle = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "title")
;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Webpage title:", $wTitle)

;Clicks the new button
Sleep(3000)
_IEAction($nWorkOrderB, "focus")
_IEAction($nWorkOrderB, "click")
Sleep(5000)

;Store the Element names where the important data will be sent
;Store the long description button
Local $wLongDButton = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "m65d795a4-img")
;Store the long Description field id
Local $wComments    = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "ma6499a9c-rte_iframe")
;Store the ok button id that is in the long description
Local $wCommOk      = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "m74031266-pb")

;*******************************************************************************
; Send the stored data to the proper field
;*******************************************************************************

;Click the long description button
Sleep(300)
_IEAction($wLongDButton, "focus")
_IEAction($wLongDButton, "click")
Sleep(300)

;Sends the Comments
Sleep(500)
_IEAction($wComments, "focus")
_IEAction($wComments, "click")
Sleep(500)
_IEFormElementSetValue($wComments, "hello darkness my old friend")

;Click the ok button
Sleep(500)
_IEAction($wCommOk, "focus")
_IEAction($wCommOk, "click")
Sleep(500)

Is this for the same website as your earlier thread? If so, then why not provide a reproducer script that uses that demo website? Otherwise, you have us flying blind.

[JLogan3o13]

@nooneclose you really need to start engaging the gray matter before you report threads. As for your "his response was mean" report, I have already responded in that thread. As for this one, rather than reporting the thread because you feel the response is "not helpful", why not take the time to read the response (which makes several valid points) and respond. Complaining about those that volunteer their time on this forum is a great way to ensure you receive no help in the future.

If you truly feel a response is not being helpful, try being the opposite of "unnecessary, unhelpful, unprofessional and childish"  and ignore it rather than complaining. Not everything is a personal affront to you, even if you are sensing tone in someone's reply.

@Danp2 

  Here is the code with a test site URL that anyone can use to see my issue. on the test site you will need to click on the "new work order button" then click on the "long description" button which sits next to the description field. The description field is the one to the right of the work order number field.

@JLogan3o13 posting about my reports in a public post instead of messaging me directly is unprofessional. FYI I read all three pages of comments on the other post and saw nothing that would help me. I also read the UDF that was posted. I did not understand it and also that post was about clicking on a popup. I want to send a popup text. Also, I am very grateful for the people who use their free time to help others. I often thank them and let them know how helpful they were in a very kind manner. It is the unnecessary rude posts I don't like. I don't have the luxury of free time when I come here for help that is because I need help not rude remarks or criticism.

You keep using the terms "childish" and "unprofessional" when you are the only one acting in this manner. A couple of things:

• Quote

  I also read the UDF that was posted. I did not understand it

  Your capacity for understanding suggestions from forum members (or lack thereof) is no one's problem but your own. You could ask for clarification instead of complaining that others are not being as helpful as you feel they should be.

• Quote

  I don't have the luxury of free time when I come here for help that is because I need help not rude remarks or criticism.

  You sound very much as though you believe you are entitled to a response right now, because your time is precious. First and foremost, this is not a paid support forum but one dedicated to helping people with their own scripts. Thus far from your time here I see more of a demand on others to barf up code for you or "just fix it" rather than a desire to actually learn. That, along with your treatment of those trying to help, is not going to encourage the many forum members that volunteer their time to continue to assist.

This is my final word on the matter, beyond a warning not to continue to abuse the reporting system because someone is "not being helpful" to you. If it continues you will be granted a vacation from posting on the site for a day. 

[Danp2]

@nooneclose You need to help us to be better able to help you. Showing us an image of a popup isn't very useful, especially when you could have posted the demo site information again. The code you posted doesn't even run, so you might want to work on that.

P.S. The popup that you want to interact with is being displayed in an iframe element, so you'll want to use _IEFrameGetCollection or _IEFrameGetObjByName to get a reference to this container. Read the help file for examples on how to properly use these commands.

[nooneclose]

@Danp2  Thank you very much. I am not sure why the code I posted didn't work for you? It works for me. I will look into the _IEFrameGetCollection and _IEFrameGetObjByName. Thank you again for your help I will try some stuff tomorrow and get back with you. 

Also, I will do better (with my posts). I'll post a more detailed version of my code and the popup tomorrow with the demo site as a reference.

I don't see how that's possible when --

1) The UDF include is missing for the _IE functions

2) The variable $nWorkOrderB is used before is value is defined

That's as far as I got.

[nooneclose]

@Danp2 ok at your request I have duplicated my script using the demo site. the script is 100% working. Also, I think you are going to like it very much. 😊 

Here is the working code with your suggestion in place:

I tried 20 elements but I did not see any of them in the long description field.  Also, I do not remember if I mentioned that in order for "text" to appear in the long description the ok button has to be pressed when the pop up pops up or it won't save.

anyways as always, any help would be appreciated.  

[Danp2]

Don't see any use of _IEFrameGetCollection or _IEFrameGetObjByName in your script. As previously indicated, you'll need to obtain a reference to the correct frame before you can access it's contained elements.

[nooneclose]

@Danp2 I see what I did wrong, my mistake.  I misread your reply.  I thought it said to use _IEFormElementGetCollection when it says _IEFrameGetCollection. I was confused for a second because I did use _IEFormElementGetCollection 20 times. I will make the change soon and get back with you. Thank you. 

[nooneclose]

@Danp2 Ok here is the updated code with the _IEFrameGetCollection:

Here is a picture of the frames it found. How do I access the correct Frame?

I think I found the name of the frames but I'm not sure what to do with them. 

Frame names:

frames = window.top.document.getElementsByTagName("IFRAME")

var frame = frames; if( frame.id == "md3374424_bimviewer_model_frame"

viewer = new ViewerWrapper( md3374424_bimviewer_modelNW )

var ctrl = document.getElementById( "md3374424_bimviewer_modelNW" )

modelMgr = new ModelManager( "md3374424_bimviewer_modelNW", "md3374424_bimviewer_model_model_cb", viewer )

what does the frame name look like?

@danp2 I found the ID of the iframe but it has no name. <iframe id="ma6499a9c-rte_iframe"


 

[Danp2]

I have it working with $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1). However, I haven't been able to update the editor and have the changes stick.

[nooneclose]

@Danp2Thank you very very much! I know this is difficult and that you're helping me out of your free time just wanted you to know that your help means a lot to me. Even if its just a step closer to have this project finished ill take any step over a dead end. 

To have the changes stick the "OK" button in that iframe needs to be clicked. But I thought my code clicks on it? 

I'll spare you the duplication and just show you the ok button code.

;Click the ok button
Sleep(500)
Local $wOK = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "m74031266-pb")
_IEAction($wOK, "focus")
_IEAction($wOK, "click")
Sleep(3000)

having this after a text is sent to the iframe should save the contents but for some reason, it does not. 

I tried with your code with this. It sends "good morning" and I think "ok" is clicked because the window closes but I am not sure anymore. 

 

 

Also, this post is the current top result from google concerning anything about "sending text to a popup with autoit"  and or "autoit how to sent text to a frame in ie"

@Danp2 I checked the website and when the code opens the long description iframe for some reason the buttons like reset, clear and ok or cancel do not work properly. I am going to try somethings but this is weird. 

[Danp2]

Not sure what you mean by do not work properly. They work AFAICS. However, from my testing, the RTF editor is inside the iframe, but the buttons are not.

[nooneclose]

ok, I figured it out. assume that all the proper code is in place. 

;Click the long description button
Sleep(300)
_IEAction($wLongDButton, "focus")
_IEAction($wLongDButton, "click")
Sleep(1000)

;Clicks on the font name
Sleep(1000)
Local $wFN = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "dijit__editor_plugins__FontNameDropDown_4_select")
_IEAction($wFN, "focus")
_IEAction($wFN, "click")
Sleep(2000)

;Sends the long description
Sleep(500)
_IEAction($wComments, "focus")
_IEAction($wComments, "click")
Sleep(500)
$oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
;_IEBodyWriteHTML($oFrame, "Good Morning test 2")
Send("Today's time/date is not today got him!")

;Click the ok button
Sleep(2000)
Local $wOK = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "m74031266-pb")

the buttons work. It is the actual text that _IEBodyWriteHTML($oFrame, "Good Morning test 2") sends that Maximo doesn't recognize.  I tested the clicks with different functions and I tested the text that is sent. Only the "Send()" method works. (as in the long description saves it when "ok" is clicked)

For some reason, the long description does not recognize text that is sent by the "_IEBodyWriteHTML()" method.
