How to handle pop up windows in Robot Framework?

Question

I need to handle a pop up window on an eCommerce site using Robot Framework. I'm unable to post screenshots of the actual site I am working on but It is similar situation to the following. I select the item I want to purchase Then I click on the Buy it now Button and a mini window pops up as follows: The problem I am having is that Robot is not picking up the mini pop up window. I tried using the select window keyword, Set Focus to Element keyword but no luck as the elements within the mini window are not being found.

I get the same issue with you today and below is the way that I did:

1. Using Inspect Element to know exactly which type of popup (ex: iframe,...)
2. Get exactly locator of this iframe
3. Using Select Frame keyword, then I can do everything with element on this popup

Below is my example:

Click Button    id:btnAddNewProduct
Sleep   20s
Select Frame    xpath://div[@id='ContentModel']//iframe
Log to console  OK
