I am using vbscript to automate an website operation using IE.
At one place, clicking a button creates a modal popup. When the popup appears, the script does not execute further and sort of freezes.
I thought of executing a second script, but I am unable to activate the popup window. The popup dialog has title as "Proceed -- Webpage Dialog", and 2 buttons - Ok and Cancel. I'm using the below code to activate the pop up window and then click Ok on it. But I am unable to capture the window. Below is the code for second script.
script2.vbs:
WScript.Sleep 5000
Msgbox "Started 2nd script"
For Each wnd In CreateObject("Shell.Application").Windows
If InStr(1, wnd.FullName, "iexplore.exe", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
If InStr(1, wnd.Document.Title, "Proceed", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
Set objIE = wnd
MsgBox "Found Window"
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
This does nothing, and I have no clue how to handle this popup. Any thoughts or workarounds for this, will be very helpful.
Update:
Below is the code for the main script.
script1.vbs:
Dim url
url = "http://example.com"
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objIE.Visible = True
objIE.AddressBar = True
objIE.StatusBar = False
objIE.MenuBar = True
WshShell.AppActivate ("Internet Explorer")
objIE.Navigate url
'''
' Some code to perform website operations
'
'
WshShell.Run "script2.vbs"
''The below line triggers the popup
Set btn = objIE.Document.GetElementById("grayBtn").GetElementsByTagName("a").Item(0)
btn.Click

I have been trying to create a really simple script to maintain visibility on an IE page but am currently unable to force the visibility or foreground position of an existing IE window.
I am able to successfully activate the window using WshShell.AppActivate() but it does not make the page foreground to a user. A sample from my code is below.
Basically the code loops until the user ends the notepad window. my confusion is specifically with why IE is not visible no matter what commands I send
Dim pressX
Dim FindProc
pressX = 1
' Create WScript Shell Object to access filesystem.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'WshShell.Run "NoScreenSaver.txt", 2, 0
' Define Which process to seek for to terminate script
strComputer = "."
FindProc = "NoScreenSaver"
Dim objApp : Set objApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim IE : Set IE = Nothing
Dim objWindow
' Loop start
Do
' Wait for 5 minutes
WScript.Sleep 3000 '000
For Each objWindow In objApp.Windows
If (InStr(objWindow.Name, "Internet Explorer")) Then
Set IE = objWindow
Exit For
End If
Next
' check if specific notepad closed
If WshShell.AppActivate("NoScreenSaver.txt") = True Then
'WshShell.AppActivate("iexplore.exe")
'wscript.echo FindProc & " is running"
Else
wscript.echo FindProc & " is not running" & vbCrLf & "Script will now end"
pressX = 0
End If
IE.visible = True
wshshell.appactivate ie.name
IE.navigate "google.ca"
' Send dummy key
WshShell.SendKeys "{F13}"
' repeat
Loop While pressX
I never wanted to use AppActivate to check for the specific notepad window either since it would take foreground. There is some information regarding using a COM wrapper but the COM wrapper approach is not possible within my constraints.
I want to clear or automatically close popup windows through vbscript, but they may be different popup windows or may be a popup window within popup window.
I am using a vbscript to create pop a window and I want a script which will automatically close all the popup windows. Below is the script which creates pop up windows and I want to close all these pop up windows through script.
Dim WshShell, BtnCode
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
BtnCode = WshShell.Popup("Do you like your job?", 7, "Answer This Question:", 4 + 32)
Select Case BtnCode
case 6 WScript.Echo "That's great!."
case 7 WScript.Echo "Sorry to hear that."
case -1 WScript.Echo "No Response?"
End Select
My solution to above code where it works partially:
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
ret = wshShell.AppActivate("Answer this question")
If ret = True Then
wshShell.SendKeys "%Y"
Exit Do
End If
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
Issue : I am currently encountering some issues closing a "premature" internet window which has no content yet.
Basically if this "premature" window is open, my macro doesn't manage to select the window I'm interested in, but as soon as I close this "premature" window manually, I can run my code properly.
Its source comes from a minor error which somehow opens it but except diplaying that window doesn't affect the rest of the code.
Tests done :
Dim Widow As Object, page_foireuse As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim objShell As Object
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
MsgBox objShell.Windows.Count
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(0).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(1).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(2).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(3).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(4).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(5).document.Title
' MsgBox objShell.Windows(6).document.Title
'For Each Widow In objShell.Windows
' If Widow.document.Title Is Nothing Then ' this doesn't work
' Set page_foireuse = Widow
' End If
'Next
'
'If objShell.Windows(5).document.Title Is Nothing Then
'End If
Set page_foireuse = objShell.Windows(5)
page_foireuse.Quit
MsgBox objShell.Windows.Count
Results so far :
When I count the number of windows in the shell, this "premature" window is also counted
When I return the location or title of each of the counted windows, I get an error when trying to return the location or title of the "premature" window
The two loops I tried to run at this end didn't work
So my question is : How can I close this "premature" window via the macro ?
The page on the image in your question looks strange, no location, no title. Try the following code, but set breakpoint on the line Set doc = ie.document and check if doc is not Nothing etc. HTH
' Add reference to Microsoft Internet Controls (SHDocVw)
' Add reference to Microsoft HTML Object Library
' Add reference to Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation
Dim ie As SHDocVw.WebBrowser
Dim doc As HTMLDocument
Dim shellApp As Shell32.Shell
Dim windows As SHDocVw.ShellWindows
Dim window
Set shellApp = New Shell
Set windows = shellApp.windows
For Each window In windows
If Not UCase(window.FullName) Like "*IEXPLORE.EXE" Then GoTo continue
Set ie = window
Set doc = ie.document
If doc.Title = "" Then
ie.Quit
Exit For
End If
continue:
Next window
I have written a simple script to press ok on message box but its not working. Please help me how to do this
here is the sample code
set oWShell = createobject("WScript.Shell")
MsgBox "Hello"
WScript.Sleep 2000
oWShell.Sendkeys "{enter}"
MsgBox waits for the click. If you don't click yourself, it gets never to "Sleep" or "SendKeys".
I assume you are just trying to learn, because this code makes no sense. If you want to press a button on another programs window, this could work. But in its own process this doesn't work.
If you really want to click your own MsgBox, you have to do it with a separate script. One creates the MsgBox and another clicks the button.
If you just want to close a message box after a certain period of time, check out the Popup() method of the WshShell class. Its second parameter specifies the number of seconds to display the message box for before closing it.
With CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display a message box that disappears after two seconds...
.Popup "Hello", 2
End With

you need this:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
messageText = objArgs(0)
MsgBox messageText, 51, "Warning......!"
how to click on button in message box and control of display time here the script can do that .
just copy this lines of code and paste in text file then save it as "ControlMsgBox.vbs".

Here is what I am trying to do via Macro Automation->
-> I am trying to open the website [url]http://www.metaboanalyst.ca/MetaboAnalyst/faces/Home.jsp[/url]
-> Then clicking on the "click here to start"
-> Then checking the radio button for "Peak intensity table"
-> Then click on "Browse" the data file and select a file (File that needs to be selected) manually.
-> Then finally click on the submit button (which is not working and path to the file vanishes while clicking on the submit button and giving me an Automation error ['-2147352319 (80020101)'])
Here is the code that works fine except for the last step which is submitting->
Sub MetaboAnn()
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "http://www.metaboanalyst.ca/MetaboAnalyst/faces/Home.jsp"

DoEvents
Loop
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))

If you are using IE, try to click on TOOLS, then COMPATIBILY VIEW SETTINGS and add the website you're on. It probably has something to do with older code on that website.
