How to attach child index in MS edge (Explorer mode)

YogeshSharma1 — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 07:39:00 GMT

Hi,

Could you please help me in identifying how to attach a popup window while defining an object in MS Edge(Explorer mode), earlier it was working fine in internet explorer. Refer below snip,

Also, is there any way to directly launch the website URL in explorer mode.

@YogeshSharma1,

Is the popup a windows popup?
If yes, you can simply create a new object defining a windows based application (rather than edge based application), and try to attach it using the windows title.
Also, Child Index starts with 0 and not 1. If there is only one instance, then use 0 and it should attach.

Hi Yogesh,

To work with MS Edge IE Mode popups, please kindly follow the below instructions:

Dialogue boxes, such as "Print" (Ctrl + P), "Save as…", (Ctrl + S). AA/Win32 elements must attach to IEXPLORE (Child Index optionally set to 0) for them to work, whereas UIA elements must attach to MSEDGE (Child Index optionally set to 0) for them to work.
Browser popups, such as those generated by JavaScript alert() and prompt() methods. All AA/UIA/Win32 elements must attach to IEXPLORE (Child Index set to 1) for them to work.

Hope this helps.
