How to avoid/handle the system popup's while a process is running

[ankur.deshpande]

Description

Hi All,

I have developed a process which simulates some manual steps on a webpage. While the process is running, I have seen that whenever some unexpected pops like Outlook mail popup (right hand bottom) or any system popup like start button is clicked or say any system popup or notification pops up, my process clicks/starts typing into on such controls and then at one point it fails which is obvious.

I also tried changing the input mode to background, but did not work. Should I be using the input mode as Simulate/Chromium API? I want the values should properly added to the UI elements even if the browser is not active/infocus.

Yes this should fix your problem as Simulate is developed to work on invisible UiElements.

Thanks,

Thanks Ashok.

But for the activities within use browser activity which have hardware input like “Enter” or upload click, still have to be input mode as Hardware. Textboxes issues is resolved. If other app is in focus, the text is added in background.
