Answer 1

Try this code, include your object names & variable to work.

Set<String> windowids = driver.getWindowHandles();
Iterator<String> iter= windowids.iterator();
for (int i = 1; i < sh.getRows(); i++)
{   
while(iter.hasNext())
{
System.out.println("Main Window ID :"+iter.next());
}
driver.findElement(By.id("lgnLogin_UserName")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("lgnLogin_UserName")).sendKeys(sh.getCell(0, 
i).getContents());
driver.findElement(By.id("lgnLogin_Password")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("lgnLogin_Password")).sendKeys(sh.getCell(1, 
i).getContents());
driver.findElement(By.id("lgnLogin_LoginButton")).click();
Thread.sleep(5000L);
            windowids = driver.getWindowHandles();
    iter= windowids.iterator();
    String main_windowID=iter.next();
    String tabbed_windowID=iter.next();
    System.out.println("Main Window ID :"+main_windowID);
    //switch over to pop-up window
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    driver.switchTo().window(tabbed_windowID);
    System.out.println("Pop-up window Title : "+driver.getTitle());

Use

following methods to switch to modelframe

driver.switchTo().frame("ModelFrameTitle");

or

driver.switchTo().activeElement()

Hope this will work

Answer 3

Solution in R (RSelenium): I had a popup dialog (which is dynamically generated) and hence undetectable in the original page source code Here are methods which worked for me:

Method 1: Simulating Pressing keys for Tabs and switching to that modal dialog My current key is focussed on a dropdown button behind the modal dialog box

remDr$sendKeysToActiveElement(list(key = "tab"))
Sys.sleep(5)
remDr$sendKeysToActiveElement(list(key = "enter"))
Sys.sleep(15)

Method 2: Bring focus to the frame(or iframe) if you can locate it

date_filter_frame <- remDr$findElement(using = "tag name", 'iframe')
date_filter_frame$highlightElement()

Sys.sleep(5)

remDr$switchToFrame(date_filter_frame)

Sys.sleep(2)

Now you can search for elements in the frame. Remember to put adequate Sys.sleep in between commands for elements to load properly (just in case)

date_filter_element <- remDr$findElement(using = "xpath", paste0("//*[contains(text(), 'Week to Date')]"))
date_filter_element$highlightElement()

Answer 4

What you are using is not a model dialog, it is a separate window.

Use this code:

private static Object firstHandle;
private static Object lastHandle;

public static void switchToWindowsPopup() {
    Set<String> handles = DriverManager.getCurrent().getWindowHandles();
    Iterator<String> itr = handles.iterator();
    firstHandle = itr.next();
    lastHandle = firstHandle;
    while (itr.hasNext()) {
        lastHandle = itr.next();
    }
    DriverManager.getCurrent().switchTo().window(lastHandle.toString());
}

public static void switchToMainWindow() {
    DriverManager.getCurrent().switchTo().window(firstHandle.toString());

Answer 5

I have tried it, it works for you.

String mainWinHander = webDriver.getWindowHandle();

// code for clicking button to open new window is ommited

//Now the window opened. So here reture the handle with size = 2
Set<String> handles = webDriver.getWindowHandles();

for(String handle : handles)
{
    if(!mainWinHander.equals(handle))
    {
        // Here will block for ever. No exception and timeout!
        WebDriver popup = webDriver.switchTo().window(handle);
        // do something with popup
        popup.close();
    }
}

Assuming the expectation is just going to be two windows popping up (one of the parent and one for the popup) then just wait for two windows to come up, find the other window handle and switch to it.

WebElement link = // element that will showModalDialog()

// Click on the link, but don't wait for the document to finish
final JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript(
    "var el=arguments[0]; setTimeout(function() { el.click(); }, 100);",
  link);

// wait for there to be two windows and choose the one that is 
// not the original window
final String parentWindowHandle = driver.getWindowHandle();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 60, 1000)
    .until(new Function<WebDriver, Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean apply(final WebDriver driver) {
        final String[] windowHandles =
            driver.getWindowHandles().toArray(new String[0]);
        if (windowHandles.length != 2) {
            return false;
        }
        if (windowHandles[0].equals(parentWindowHandle)) {
            driver.switchTo().window(windowHandles[1]);
        } else {
            driver.switchTo().window(windowHandles[0]);
        }
        return true;
    }
});
