This is a fantastic little tutorial, Nick.

One thing to add:

Wait methods such as these are ESSENTIAL in object detection. More than just correcting timing issues, you can't do tests to check for whether or not an error dialogue comes up without using a Wait method of some sort.

It's very useful for me, but I need a similar parameter to find a windowsforms PropertyGrid.

Just like hello word ;)

Hi by any chance, can we do same, but wait until object will became accessible?
Here is my script:
function RunApp(ItemIndex, ProcessIndex)
{
var p1, p2, w1, w2;


p1 = TestedApps["Items"](ItemIndex)["Run"]();

p2 = Sys["Process"]("Mobile", ProcessIndex);

while (! p2["WaitWindow"]("*","Playback",-1,0) )
{};

while (1)
{
w1 = p2["EventPlaybackForm"];
if (w1["Exists"])
break;
}
OpenPlaybackFile(ItemIndex, ProcessIndex);

}
And i get error "Unable to find the object EventPlaybackForm"
Thanks

Hi,

Alexey,
What do you mean by "accessible"? You can wait for an object to appear in the objects tree using a corresponding Wait* method (WaitWindow, WaitWinFormsObject, WaitVCLObject, etc.). You can wait for an object to become visible on screen like this:
obj["WaitProperty"]("VisibleOnScreen", true, 20000)
If you need something different, please send us a message with a description of your task at support@automatedqa.com.
