For anyone who struggled like me, please find below what worked out for me ultimately and how to spy the save as window
use case: Downloading a file from Internet Explorer which then opens the iexplore save as window dialog box. I want to be able to spy the address bar, the file name edit area, and the save button to save the file in the desired location.
Step 1: Create a new object. Select Windows application and that you will be attaching an instance and not launching from executable
- Details: Application Name: Provide whatever, does not matter
Window title: "*Save*". I did this since my pop up title was "Save Output as"
Windows process: iexplore
Step 2: Click on the Application modeler, click attach, and then identify. Make sure to have the browser open and active up till the point of the pop dialogue already before step2
Step 3: spy the address bar, the file edit bar, and save button using AA mode
Step 4: Now build the process for this pop-up
Step 5: Navigate stage, bring the pop-up root element, and select "Attach"
Step 6: Perform necessary stage such as click address bar, enter, location, click save button
Step 7: Detach the application
