Occurs when an unexpected window appears.
Declaration
| Sender | [in] | Required | Variant | |
| Window | [in] | Required | An OnscreenObject object | |
| LogParams | [in] | Required | A LogParams object |
Description
When an unexpected window appears during the script execution, TestComplete posts an image of this window and an error message to the test log. Before posting the image and message, it generates the OnUnexpectedWindow event.
You can use this event to perform specific actions when an unexpected window appears. For instance, you can replace the message text or the image being posted (see example below).
Important Notes:
-
If you simulate a mouse click within the
OnUnexpectedWindowevent handler, TestComplete will check for an unexpected window (that is, the event handling routine will be called recursively). -
The
OnUnexpectedWindowevent does not work for windowless objects. That is, if an unexpected window is a windowless object (for example, a modal window implemented in a web application with adivelement) theOnUnexpectedWindowevent does not occur. For more information, see Handling Unexpected Windows.
Parameters
The event has the following parameters:
Sender
The Event control that processes the event.
Window
Specifies an unexpected window as a Window object.
LogParams
Properties of the LogParams object hold text, priority, color and other attributes of the error message posted to the log.
Remarks
For information on how to create an event handler for this and other TestComplete events, see Handling Events.
Example
The following example posts the screen image to the test log and changes the text of the message that will be posted to the log:
JavaScript, JScript
function ProjectEvents1_OnUnexpectedWindow(Sender, Window, LogParams)
{
// Posts an image of the whole screen to the test log
Log.Picture(Sys.Desktop(), "Image of the whole screen");
// Replaces the TestComplete message with your message
LogParams.MessageText = "My custom message";
// You can use the following line to cancel
// posting of the default TestComplete messages
// LogParams.Locked = true;
}
Python
def ProjectEvents1_OnUnexpectedWindow(Sender, Window, LogParams):
# Posts an image of the whole screen to the test log
Log.Picture(Sys.Desktop(), "Image of the whole screen")
# Replaces the TestComplete message with your message
LogParams.MessageText = "My custom message"
# You can use the following line to cancel
# posting of the default TestComplete messages
# LogParams.Locked = TrueVBScript
Sub ProjectEvents1_OnUnexpectedWindow(Sender, Window, LogParams)
' Posts the image of the whole screen to the test log
Log.Picture Sys.Desktop, "Image of the whole screen"
' Replaces the TestComplete message with your message
LogParams.MessageText = "My custom message"
' You can use the following line to cancel
' posting of the default TestComplete messages
' LogParams.Locked = True
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure ProjectEvents1_OnUnexpectedWindow(Sender; Window; LogParams);
begin
// Posts an image of the whole screen to the test log
Log.Picture(Sys.Desktop, 'Image of the whole screen');
// Replaces the TestComplete message with your message
LogParams.MessageText := 'My custom message';
// You can use the following line to cancel
// posting of the default TestComplete messages
// LogParams.Locked := True;
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function ProjectEvents1_OnUnexpectedWindow(Sender, Window, LogParams)
{
// Posts an image of the whole screen to the test log
Log["Picture"](Sys["Desktop"](), "Image of the whole screen");
// Replaces the TestComplete message with your message
LogParams["MessageText"] = "My custom message";
// You can use the following line to cancel
// posting of the default TestComplete messages
// LogParams["Locked"] = true;
}
