Solution

  • I had the same problem and fixed it with the following:

    Because the window that shows up is a System window, it means it's no longer part of the IE Application Modeller, as it's using a different thread and a different ID.

    So you'll need to create a different object specifically for this operation. I created one with

    Object Name: IE - Popup Message

    Window Title: Message from webpage

    Windows Process iexplore

    When attaching to it use index of 0, and then you can easily use UI Automation or Acessibility to identify the button you want to press.

    But yes, you'll need to use a different object, I'd suggest making this one and every time there's a system popup for IE to identify the different buttons and use this object as a common interface between them.
