Hello, I think it is a general problem of detecting a Pop-up window.
I tried a new project and used the Use Application/Browswer activity.
In a while loop, it’s an action System.Activities.Satements.Parallel
( the working condition is always True, but you can change this behavior)
This could be like another working thread, which runs a parallel process.

In a containig Group, I had added the Get Active Window action.
This action could be find in UIPath.Core.Activities.Get Active Window.
The idea is to compare the window title and then do the proper action.
This window text I get with Get Attribute from UIPath.UIAutomationNext.
hWnd is the variable name for the active window just previously set.
The atribute name is “title” and it is saved to a String text variable.
Please see the next picture:

In the next step, I had used an InvokeCode activity.
This activity can be find on UIPath.Core.Activities.InvokeCode.
This script has 2 input arguments, arg1 and arg2 and an out result.
Or simply, you can use more If statements, or a switch statement.
But the advantage of a script, is that you can keep a static variable.
You can set the output result as an integer value depending of title.
But only if the text has a different value, an output can be different.
The code ofthis script can look like this:

Static text As String
result = 0
If (arg1 <> text) Then
System.Console.WriteLine(arg1)
If arg1.Contains(“Explorer”) Then
result = 1
Else If arg1.Contains(“Chrome”) Then
result = 2
Else If arg1.Contains(“Calculator”) Then
result = 3
Else If arg1.Contains(“WordPad”) Then
result = 4
Else If arg1.Contains(“PlaceholderWindow”) Then
result = 5
Else If arg1.Contains(“UIPath StudioX Community”) Then
result = 6
End If
End If

text = arg1
Call arg2.Close

The arg2 can be a reference to the hWnd variable of the active window.
This window can be automatically closed, or you may comment this line.
Depending the result, you choose different actions in a switch statement.
As you can see, the window text can be the title of any running application.
If you run the Calculator, or the WordPad, you can see a new entry log.
Actually, the current active window could belong to any application.

Hope this can be of any help,

Actually closing the window, can give an error, if the window is already closing.
So an error checking would be also necessary, to avoid this kind of error.

With fine regards, Adrian
