GXtest UI Commands - Alerts

JavaScript Alerts and Confirmation messages are not common in GeneXus applications, but in case you need to handle this type of dialogs, you can use the following commands.

Warning: GXtest recorder has a bit different model of handling alerts (Canceling or Accepting alerts are commands that need to run before the alert is shown). To understand the full behavior of these commands, try to run the example. 

Note: In IE, if more than one alert is displayed during an execution, IE blocks alert contents and execution does not continue as expected. To avoid this problem the site under tests must be added to Trusted Sites on Internet Explorer options (Internet Options / Security / Trusted Sites / Sites / Add)
