Webpage properties methods and events

Webpage properties, methods, and events

Robot Studio creates WebPage controls for interrogated web page targets webpages. The actual control that is created as a result of interrogating a webpage is the HtmlDocument control. For simplicity, the control is referred to as the WebPage control. The WebPage control supports the general control properties, methods, and events described in General Web Control Properties Methods Events. In addition, Studio exposes properties, methods, and events specific to the WebPage control.

Note: Design properties are accessed from the Properties Grid. Access all other properties, methods and events directly from Object Explorer or by using the Configure Type option in Object Inspector.

Methods

Methods	Description	Parameters	Return Type
Alert (1 param)	Displays a message box. Use the Message parameter to enter the text to display in the alert.	String Message	Void
CloseWindow	Closes the page.	None	Void
Confirm (1 param)	Displays a dialog with a message and buttons to solicit a Yes/No response. Use the Message parameter to enter the text string displayed in the Confirm window.	String Message	Boolean
Detach	Unmatches the Page control.	None	Void
ExecuteScript (2 params)	Executes the script you specify. Use the Script parameter to enter the script as a text string. Use the Language parameter to indicate the script type. You should indicate either JavaScript or VBScript as the language unless you know that another scripting language is installed. For more information, see Execute Script vs Invoke Script.	String, String	Void
FocusWindow	Sets user input focus on the current document.	None	Void
GetClones	Returns a collection of cloned objects. Use the GetClones method in combination with a ListLoop component to iterate over the list of cloned objects to extract individual list items.	None	CloneCollection
GetEvent (1 param)	Initiates downstream logic pending the occurrence of a particular eventAn occurrence that is significant to a program and which may call for a response from a program. For example, when a button is clicked.. Click the Name parameter in the GetEvent design block to view a list of events applicable for the componentAn object developed by Pega for use in Studio solutions and automations.. Select the event and then create a proxy from the GetEvent result. For more information, see Get Event for Windows Controls and Forms.	EventName	Event
InvokeScript (2 params)	Invokes a script defined in a webpage and returns the result from the script. Input the script name as a parameter and the parameters for the script as an Object[] parameter. For more information, see Execute Script vs Invoke Script.	String, Object[]	Object
IsKeyAssigned (1 param)	Verifies that the key is assigned.	String key	Boolean
MoveWindow (1 param)	Moves the window to the specified coordinates on the screen. Use the Point parameter to set the location.	Point	Void
MoveWindow (2 params)	Moves the window to the specified coordinates on the screen. Use the X and Y coordinate parameters to set the location.	Int32, Int32	Void
Prompt (2 params)	Shows a dialog that displays a message and a text box to the user. Use the Message parameter to specify the text to display. Use the Default Value parameter to set the default response.	String, String	String
Rematch	Refreshes matching on the webpage control and all controls under the page. If the control is currently matched, Studio detaches (unmatches) the control and its children before attempting to rematch. If the control is currently unmatched, you can only call Rematch if the parent is matched.	Boolean	Void
RematchChildren	Refreshes matching on all objects under the webpage control. Set the detach property to True to unmatch all targets before attempting to rematch.	Boolean detach	Void
ResetState	Reserved for .NET requirements.	None	Void
ResizeWindow (1 param)	Changes the size of the window to the specified dimensions. Use the Size parameter to set the window size (in pixels).	Size	Void
ResizeWindow (2 params)	Changes the size of the window to the specified dimensions. Use the Height and Width parameters to specify the window size (in pixels).	Int32, Int32	Void
SetNextKey (1 param)	Sets a key that will be applied to the next page that is created. If WaitForCreate times out with no page being created the next key is cleared.	String key	Void
WaitForCreate	Waits for webpage to be created (matched). Returns True if the page is created before the WaitTimeout period elapses. Otherwise, it returns False. For more information, see Wait For Create.	None	Boolean
WaitForCreate (1 param)	Waits for the webpage to be created (matched). Returns True if the page is created before the specified number of milliseconds has elapsed. Otherwise, it returns False. For more information, see Wait For Create.	Milliseconds	Boolean

Events

Note: The events for HTML elements (except for Clicking, DoubleClicking, Created, and Destroyed) are all asynchronous for performance reasons. Cancelling an event for a web control depends on the control. If the control has an inline event handler (onclick=”submitform()”). Setting the Cancel property will not cancel it. If, however, the control is a link or a Submit button which executes actions without a script, such as navigating to a link or submitting the form, setting the Cancel property to True will cancel these actions.

Note too that Property changed and Cancellable events are not supported in Chrome or Edge using the Universal Web Adapter, but are supported in Internet Explorer using the Web adapter.

Events	Description
ContextMenu	Occurs when the user requests to display the document's context menu.
ElementChanged	Occurs when the webpage has detected one or more elements have been added, removed, or had their text changed. This event notifies the user that the page was changed by scripts making Dynamic HTML changes. Note: The event does not fire immediately when elements are changed. Instead, Studio pauses a short time while waiting for any more changes to occur. If multiple elements are changed within a short time, the ElementChanged event may still only fire once after all those changes are made.
PageLostFocus	Occurs whenever focus changes from current webpage. Once the event is triggered, a Duration event argument is calculated which tallies the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the webpage was in focus. You can use the PageLostFocus event with Studio's Events feature in Generic and Custom events projects and/or directly in project automations. You can use the PageLostFocus event with applications running in Internet Explorer, including Java, Oracle Forms, Siebel, and Microsoft HTML applications (MS HTAs). For more information, see Adapter Events.
