How too set options to specify how Robot responds to unexpected active windows?

  1. Open the GUI Playback Options dialog box.
  2. Click the Unexpected Active Window tab.
  3. To have Robot detect unexpected active windows and capture the screen image for viewing in the Image Comparator, select Detect unexpected active windows and Capture screen image.
  4. Specify how Robot should respond to an unexpected active window:
    Send key - Robot sends the specified keystroke: ENTER, ESCAPE, or any alphabetic key (A through Z).
    Select pushbutton with focus - Robot clicks the push button with focus.
    Send WM_CLOSE to window - Robot sends a Windows WM_CLOSE message.
    This is equivalent to clicking the Windows Close button.
  5. Specify what Robot shoul d do if i t cannot remove an unexpected acti ve window:
  6. Continue running script - Robot continues script playback with the next command in the script after the one being processed when the unexpected active window appeared. Playback continues even if the unexpected active window cannot be removed. This may result in repeated script command failures.
  7. Skip current script - Robot halts playback of the current script. If the script that detected the unexpected active window was called from within another script, playback resumes with the script command following the CallScript command.
  8. Abort playback - Robot halts playback completely. If the script that detected the unexpected active window was called from within another script, the calling script also stops running.
  9. Click OK or change other options.
