Hi Willem, I am referring to a message box. Not to a pop up. Yes it's easy to spy a pop up. A pop up is just a window of Internet Explorer and it's quite straightforward to spy it.
What you are trying to explain is how to spy a window. This information is still available on Foundation Training.
Contrarily to windows, a messagebox is not spyable in Application Modeller and in Application Navigator and it does not appear either.
I had thoroughly reviewed the documentation before sending the message here and the reply is not in the documentation.
I was more looking for soemone who still faced the same issue to share the way he solved it or at least his experience with any workaround. Thank you for your reply.------------------------------

Not sure if this is the solution, but you could try to attach to the popup using the window title. This might then enable spying elements in the message box.
For example, you click a Save button in Process. A message box appears with the title "Information popup". You attach to the window called "Information popup" without using a process for attaching as well (might have to take the process out of the Application Modeller, and just use Window Title). Depending on how the target application is programmed, this could work...

Hello,
Using the Application Modeller, I have a window title of the target application called "Window".
I also have a windows process name of the target application called "Process".
Sometimes, when the target application is running, an error ocurrs at a specific step that triggers a messagebox.
I need to spy the messagebox so that I can capture the error message that is inside.
To capture the error message, a human can click on the message box and with a couple of TAB keystrokes, he can copy the error message.
However, the messagebox is not spyable in Application Modeller and in Application Navigator and it does not appear either.
Instead I have hundreds of "Window", "(Window) AA", "(MenuBar) AA", "(TitleBar) AA", "Button (AA)" and other "(ScrollBar) AA", almost everything of type WindowsForms10.Window. To be honest, it is not very helpful.
In task manager there is no more window that appear, which makes sense as it is a message box.
How can I spy this messagebox then?
Kind regards.
