In my vb6 project, I created my own msgbox using a form, due to difficulties in changing
the font/language of in-built msgbox. A search with google gave the idea of own msg-
box rather than trying msgbox of VB. Now the problem is : - when the user exits the
program, 3 options are given: to close, to restart and to cancel exit. The user need not
again go through the process of giving password etc in restart option. If I give cancel =
true in the QueryUnload event, then 2nd option does not work, 3rd option works. If
cancel = true is not given, 2nd option works, but 3rd option does not. It appears that
the main form does not get unloaded if cancel = true. Unless & until the main form
unloads, the program will not work with the fresh data to be given by the user in the
initial Form. Since the code after "msgbox.show" depends on options, it is not possible
to write that code in the same sub, not even in the same form code. Is there any way
to stop the subsequent code after "msgbox.show" and continue the same after getting
option? (like in the in-built msgbox of VB.) I am not an expert in VB, so please correct
if I made some mistake; also help with advice/suggestions.
EDIT:- [Extended explanation]
The 3 forms in my project:
Initial form for password, data etc. This is input Form for user.
Main Form. This Form shows the results after process of input.
frmMsgBox. This is a custom msgbox created using a form.
Main Form code portion. Code for closing the program:
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel as.......)
cancel = True
frmMsgBox.Label1.caption = Do you wish to 1.Exit 2.Restart
3.Cancel the exit?
frmMsgBox.Show
End sub
(The above msgbox is almost like an in-built msgbox in VB with
vbYesNoCancel buttons) The message is in regional language,
which was the main reason forced me to use my own msgbox.
After MsgBox appears, the user selects one of the above options
using 3 commandButtons placed in that Form. The code after
clicking these buttons is written in the code portion of frmMsgBox:
Command1_Click 'This is for Exit from the Program.
All Forms.unload, All forms set to nothing, end.
Command2_click 'This is for restarting the Program.
Unload Main Form, set to nothing
Load Initial Form
Initial Fom.show
frmMsgBox.Hide
Command3_Click 'This is for cancelling the exit request.
Main Form.Show
frmMsgBox.Hide
With the above code, I have no problem with options 1 & 3,
i.e; to exit from the program or to start. The frmMsgBox hides,
the initial form shows - these are OK, but the main form does
not unload nor it is removed from memory. Because of this,
whatever new data is given by the user in the initial form now
is not being processed, the main form is struck with the old results.
If cancel = true is removed from the code above, Options 1 & 2
are OK, but option 3 does not work. Then the Main Form loses
all its results (all labels, texts etc in that Form turn blank.)

In Oracle Apex 5.1, I am having issues with Ajax call in my code. There is no error shown as well. Request help in debugging the below scenario.
I created a report with check boxes. This page also has 4 buttons A, B, C, D. I created a page process which is a pl/sql block. Upon clicking on bUtton A OR B this process is being called and executed properly as expected.
For buttons C and D, I wanted to take a user input and pass it to page process.After that only, the process should get executed. For this, I have written an on click dynamic action which prompts for user input upon clicking on buttons C or D.
var order= prompt("Please enter order number", "");
$s('P1_UPDATED_ORDER_NUMBER',order);
alert ($v(P1_UPDATED_ORDER_NUMBER)); // Until this the code is working
apex.server.process ('my_process',{}, {"dataType": "text"});
In the above code, the last line is not showing any result or error. I am not sure if the call is actually made or not?
This issue is resolved by removing apex.server.process() and triggering page submit after above java script is executed.
I believe the actual solution to request the AJAX Callback is to use this:
apex.server.process ('my_process',null, {"dataType": "script"});
Here is my Basic Code
The formFlow works fine and after checking the if condition ,it should go to the else part ,which it does, but in the else part the wrote this line of code
await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => new AskMeAnything());
AskMeAnything is a class implementing Idialog. The problem is ,its again going/calling the formflow rather than jumping into the above mentioned dialog.
I read about IdialogStack but unable to understand how to remove the dialog on top of stack or something related to it.
i need help in moving to other dialog without looping into formflow.
Thanks
The first time you call Conversation.SendAsync(...) you actually create a root dialog for your conversation. Every consecutive call to the bot will still enter the controller but will be routed to the dialog at the top of the stack.
So when you call Conversation.SendAsync(...) for a second time you are actually trying to change the root dialog in the stack. I don't think this is possible and that's why your form is called again.
To solve this problem I would create a different dialog and make that dialog your root dialog. From this root dialog you can call your form and any other dialog.
I'm stuck in one of the confirmation message. Below is the code.
boolean bFlag = selenium.isConfirmationPresent(); // which gives bFlag= false
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation();
selenium.click("//input[#value='Approve']");
// On clicking Approve button confirmation messasge is displayed.
boolean Flag = selenium.isConfirmationPresent(); // Which gives flag= true
Selenium is unable to click OK in the confirmation. I'm unable to continue with further coding. Nun of the selenium commands is working after clicking on approve button.
Can any one help me on this
Regards
I only have a reference to a rather old piece of documentation, but I guess what is said there is still true
http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0.1/reference.html#chooseOkOnNextConfirmation
every time a confirmation comes up, you must consume it with a corresponding getConfirmation, or else the next selenium operation will fail.
So your code should look like this:
selenium.chooseOkOnNextConfirmation();
selenium.click("//input[#value='Approve']");
String confirmation = selenium.getConfirmation();
assertEquals("expected text of confirmation", confirmation); // check content of confirmation, optional
// now continue with more selenium commands
I have a unique situation over here. I have a button on a form which produces a popup if there are some errors in the form. [I know this is not good practice, but the developers of the product would not be changing that behavior!] The form navigates to a different page if all the required fields are correctly populated. Now, I need to write a script in order to click the "Submit" button on the form which either might produce a popup or navigate to the next page.
I have the used the click_no_wait on the "Submit" button and handled the popup using AutoIt as per Javascript Popups in Watir. Now, if all the information is valid and the form navigates to the next page, I use a delay in the script by following some of the techniques described in How to wait with Watir. I am using a Watir::wait_until() to wait in the script.
Now sometimes because of some network issues, it takes time to go to the next page (report-generation) page when the form is submitted and thus the script fails because of the timeout value specified in the wait_until.
I was wondering whether there is a way to intercept the onload event of the HTML page in Watir, since the onload event isn't fired until the entire page is loaded. By that way I could have an accurate estimate of the timeout value and not experiment with it. Thus, my script will pass 100% rather than say 98% right now.
Thanks for any help on this topic.
You could try setting up a rescue for the time out, then looping a reasonable amount of times (2 or 3?) if it encounters a timeout.
E.g.
# All your button clicking and autoit stuff here
i = 0
begin
b.wait_until{ # the thing you're waiting to happen }
rescue TheSpecificTimeOutException
# Sorry I can't remember it, the command prompt will tell you exactly
# which one
if i < 3
i += 1
retry
else
raise
end
end
I'm sure i'll have messed something up in the above, or there'll be more concise ways of doing it, but you get the idea. When it times out, give it another few tries before giving up.
I'm using Watir 1.6.7.
I'm working on developing some regression tests for a PeopleSoft App using Watir and Cucumber. I have run into a few issues with forms in the application.
First, when entering a value into a text_field, the page refreshes when the user clicks outside the text_field. Waiting for the next text_field element to exist is problematic because it may locate the element before the page reloads, or after the page reloads as expected. Increasing the wait time never feels like a good solution, even though it "works".
The second issue is that the page refresh is not triggered until the user clicks outside the current field. In this case, that happens when the script tries to access the next text_field to be populated. One solution here would be to send a or keystroke, but I can feel the script becoming more brittle with every addition like this.
Are there any other approaches that would be less brittle, and not require 2-3 extra commands in between each text_field action?
The play-by-play looks like:
Browser navigates to page that contains the form.
Browser fills in first form field. (fix: send keystroke to cause page refresh, wait_until second field is visible again)
Browser selects the second form field to be filled out. (again, keystroke & wait_until)
Page refreshes, script fails. (resolved)
Browser selects the third form field...
The application started exceeding the 5 second sleep duration, and I did not want to increase the wait time any longer. I wanted to see what would happen if I populated the text field faster using "element.value =" rather than character by character with "element.set ".
This change completely resolved all complications. The page no longer refreshes when entering text, and no long requires a send_keys statement to use TAB or ENTER to move to another field. The form is storing all of the data entered even though there are no refreshes or state saves between fields.
Previous method:
def enter_text(element, text)
element.set text
#browser.send_keys("+{TAB}")
sleep 5
Watir:Wait.until { element.exists? }
end
New method:
def enter_text(element, text)
element.value = text
end
Firstly, there are interesting Wait methods here: How do I use Watir::Waiter::wait_until to force Chrome to wait?
Overall, I don't quite understand your problem. As I understand it your script is working. If you could be a bit clearer about your desires compared to what you already have that would help, as would some sample source code.
If you're looking for ideas on custom waiting you could check for changes in the HTML of your page, form or text field. You could check that the text field is .visible?. You could try accessing the next text_field (clicking it, or setting the value for example), then catch the exception if it can't find the text_field and retry until it doesn't break, which would solve both your problems at once.
Why would clicking outside the current field be a bad solution? Do you absolutely need the next step to be a text_field access? I haven't gotten my head around how the next field only exists when you click outside the current field, but you cause this refresh by accessing the next field.
Edit: Most welcome, and thank you for clearing that up, I think I now understand better. If you allow Watir to invoke its page wait, or force it to, then it will wait for the refresh and you can then find the new text_field. Keystrokes do not invoke ie.wait, so if you send a single keystroke, then invoke a wait then the rest of your script will be responding to the post-refresh state.
I highly recommend the OpenQA page on waiting in Watir. If what you're doing to invoke the refresh does not appear on the list of things that invoke Watir page waits then you need to invoke your own page wait... but you need to do it before the page refreshes, so the cause of the refresh should end before the end of the refresh itself.
I don't know peoplesoft's app well enough to know this, but Does the app display anything for the user while it's processing.. like some kind of little 'loading' graphic or anything that you might be able to key off of to tell when it's done?
I've seen apps that do this, and the item is just an animated gif or png and it is displayed by altering the visibility attribute of the div that contains the graphic. In that instance you can tell if the app is still loading by using the .visible? method on that element and sleeping for a while if it's still there.
for the app I'm testing (which has one of those 'icons') I created a simple method I called sleepwhileloading. all it that is does is use a one second sleep wrapped in a while loop that looks to see if the loading icon is visible. works like a charm
