Window pop ups cant be handled by Selenium.So you can go for follwing options : -

(1) Java Robot Class

(2) Sikuli [Recommended]

(3) AutoIt

These are 3rd party tools used to handle window based pop ups.

Answer 3

Accepting confirmation popups in Selenium can be handled via Alert object (assuming driver instance is ready):

Alert myAlert = driver.switchTo().alert();
myAlert.accept();

Answer 4

Use autoit download the autoit exe record clicking of that button Use the code and execute it via JS executor

Dont forget to place the code before you are actually executing the step not after executing it

Answer 5

Please switch to windows dialogs first using get window handles eg. Save As

Then, use Robot commands to send Enter key. It will save the file.
