I have a (hopefully) simple question about RingCentral capabilities.
Namely, is is possible to open a URL in a call center rep's browser upon an incoming phone call?
For instance, if (555) 321-1234 calls, is it possible to open a web browser to the URL:
site.com/call?number=5553211234
If it is possible, what is the feature called (so I can look up tutorials)?
In RingCentral, this sort of screen pop can be found in the "Execute Command" setting.
As a developer, I put the softphone into sandbox mode, hit the settings gear, go to "Calls" then edit the screen pop URL from there.

I have a simple IWebBrowser2 browser in my application like this one sample.
We use this browser control for a research in our application to search for address information. The user may click on a button to perform a selective search for given keywords in the address and the result is shown in this browser control.
For example we execute a YouTube search for
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=test+video
I can copy the link into a browser (Chrome, IE, Edge) and the search is executed.
But from within the embedded Control the search shows the following text:
Google Sorry...
We're sorry...
... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
See Google Help for more information.
The help links are not useful, and the problem arises only to searches on Youtube from within the IWebBrowser2. No Captcha is shown. We use AV and Firewall software... so something from YouTube/Google don't like browsing from an IWebBrowser2.
Hint: If you want to use the sample code form CodeProject you should thet ES_AUTOHSCROLL for the URL edit control. Otherwise you will not be able to enter a long search URL.
Set the agent field of the http query header to emulate a known browser.
I a have small scraper for Facebook that uses chromedriver.
However every time I login after a couple of seconds I have to click some button to allow Facebook notifications. Is there a way to do it automatically?
I've seen some suggest to press tab three times and then enter but I don't know when exactly I'll be prompted by the request and I don't want to press stuff at the wrong time.
Is there anything that can be one when creating the webdriver?
Most likely, this is because every time you start a new ChromeDriver instance you get an entirely new Chrome profile, just like if you opened a new private browsing session. So all the client specific settings that the page you want to test has defined via cookies will be lost and have to be set again. (The main reason why this is a good thing is that for automated testing, you'd like the page to be in the same state every time a new test visits it.)
There are however ways to emulate cookies for testing with WebDriver.
Example
Consider the page http://www.cnn.com for example. Every time you run a new test against that page, a bar at the bottom of the page will pop up asking you to accept their cookie policy:
The page stores the fact that you once clicked the "I agree" button in a cookie itself. You can use the Chrome content settings to identify which cookies a certain web page sets. Details on that can be found here: https://superuser.com/questions/244062/how-do-i-view-add-or-edit-cookies-in-google-chrome
For this particular page, the name of the responsible cookie is "CNNtosAgreed" and the value it is set to once you click the "I agree" button is "true".
In your WebDriver script you can use the manage cookies functionality to set specific cookies, so that the page you're testing thinks you have been visiting it before.
In the Java client bindings this would look like that:
Java
driver.get("http://edition.cnn.com/");
driver.manage().addCookie(new Cookie("CNNtosAgreed", "true", ".cnn.com", "/", null));
driver.get("http://edition.cnn.com/");
Notice how the first time Chrome navigates to the page, the confirmation dialog pops up, but not the second time.
Here are some examples of what the cookie API exactly looks like in Python: How to save and load cookies using python selenium webdriver
I use www.jango.com as PC music player and want to steer it remotly via my smartphone. I have a server program for controling the PC and an app as client.
I want to use the server program for example to press the play/pause or fast forward button in jango.com running inside the chrome webbrowser.
A simple way would be to simulate a windows mouse click at a specified position within the chrome window. But it would have the disadvantage that it would only work if the jango tab is active and will of course fail if the site changes it's layout and probably due to a lot other reasons.
So I'm thinking about generating kind of the same http request as the browser does if one clicks the button for real. Or somehow accessing the html elemnt
Please consider thatm while having a C/++ background, I lack any web/JS programming skills and would be in favor keeping it this way as much as possible.
Thank you for any suggestions!
The solution is to use an user script for the musik player web site which is able to trigger the buttons in question. Than websockets can be used to communicate between the user script and the c++ server program.
I am working in an application. In this user enter his email id to get the some application setting.
After some time he will get mail with settings embedded and an apply button. Once user click on that we need to set the setting (in some file or registry).
Desktop application will read the setting(File / Registry) once it is launched.
This is the requirement. My question is,
How to call Win32/MFC application on clicking apply button with setting parameter.
You cannot arbitrarily execute something in an email message for obvious reasons.
The closest integration you could get would be to pass the configuration data as an argument to a custom URL handler in an HTML anchor; your mileage would likely vary wildly depending on browser/email client/webmail service so this is a bad idea.
Far better to simply send the configuration as an attachment with a file extension associated with your application and tell the user to open it, your app reads the config file and your done.
Some pages in my app allow users to click a hyperlink to launch the external browser via a WebBrowserHelper.
I'm carefully saving the app state in OnNavigatedFrom and restoring it in OnNavigatedTo, but when the user navigates back from the web browser into my app, the app hangs, then crashes.
I've carefully followed the great blog post on the Windows Team Blog, but can also reproduce the bug using the provided code there (just add a WebBrowserTask to one of the button click events on the DetailsPage; or in fact a send SMS task).
Can anyone else confirm this bug, or perhaps point out something special that needs to be done to overcome it?
Whoops! Yes it turns out in most cases you just need to resume the debugger to have the app come back to life.
However in my case there is also a bug in my own code. As usual.
