$popupForm.Height = 150
$popupForm.FormBorderStyle = "FixedDialog"
$popupForm.MaximizeBox = $false
$popupForm.MinimizeBox = $false
$popupForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"

$okButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$okButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(40, 80)
$okButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75, 23)
$okButton.Text = "OK"

$okButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$popupForm.AcceptButton = $okButton

$popupForm.Controls.Add($okButton) | Out-Null

What is the approach to clicking submit on a modal dialog with PowerShell?

To click on the submit button of a modal dialog using PowerShell, you can use the following approach:

  1. Identify the submit button element in the modal dialog using inspect element tool or a similar tool.
  2. Use PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest or Invoke-RestMethod to interact with the webpage and locate the submit button element.
  3. Once you have identified the submit button element, you can simulate a click on it using PowerShell commands. For example, you can use the Invoke-Expression cmdlet to execute a JavaScript command that triggers a click event on the submit button element.
  4. Here is an example PowerShell code snippet that demonstrates how to click on the submit button of a modal dialog:
1
2
3
4
5
$url = "https://example.com/modal_dialog"
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url
$form = $response.Forms[0]
$submitButton = $form.Fields["submit_button_name"]
$submitButton.click()


This code snippet assumes that you have already loaded the modal dialog webpage and have identified the submit button element. You may need to replace "https://example.com/modal_dialog" with the actual URL of the webpage and "submit_button_name" with the actual name of the submit button element.


By following these steps and using the appropriate PowerShell commands, you can click on the submit button of a modal dialog programmatically.


How to click submit on a popup window with PowerShell by using the SendKeys method?

To click submit on a popup window using PowerShell and the SendKeys method, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the popup window you want to interact with using PowerShell. You can use the following command to list all the currently open windows:
1
2
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait('%{TAB}')


  1. Once you have identified the popup window you want to interact with, you can use the SendKeys method to send keyboard input to the window. In this case, you want to send the Enter key to simulate clicking the submit button.
1
2
3
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 # wait for the window to fully load
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait('~') #simulates hitting the Enter key


  1. After sending the Enter key, the popup window should be submitted and closed.


Note that the above code may need to be adjusted based on the specific layout and behavior of the popup window you are trying to interact with. You may need to use additional SendKeys commands to navigate to the submit button or handle any confirmation dialogs that appear after clicking submit.
