extract webdialog popup

Post by shaves » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:24 pm

For certain situations in my macro, I will get a webdialog pop up. I would like to extract the contents of the webdialog pop up and take some action based on the contents. Is it possible to to extract the contents of an html webdialog pop up? I have looked around but haven't found an answer to this question.

I have used the following command: "ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT=" and it works fine. It closes the pop up and the the code keeps on running. However, I would like to see what is on the webdialog pop up before clicking "yes" each time.

Here is the code I have tried. I have added the "SET !EXTRACTDIALOG YES" to try and extract the webdialog pop up but I am not having any success with this.

"TAB T=1"
"TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS"
"FRAME F=3"
"SET !TIMEOUT 120"
"SET !EXTRACTDIALOG YES"
"ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT="
"TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Bill<SP>To<SP>Options"

Any suggestions or code samples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.
