Catching UICtrlsMainMenu.Click()

I'm still trying to find a way to improve UICtrlsMainMenu.Click()'s reliability (as per this post), and I came up with the idea of embedding a try-catch withing a while loop, but for some reason the error isn't caught. Here's my code: 



var success = false; 



while(!success) 

{

     try

     {

          Aliases.<product>.<form>.UICtrlsMainMenu.Click("[3|1|0]");

          success = true;

     } 

     catch(e)

     {

          Log.Message(e.description);

     } 

}



I've noticed that TestComplete will attempt to find the popup menu 3 times before it throws an (uncatchable) error saying "Couldn't not obtain the popup menu for item 1". Is there a way to change how many times it tries to click the menu? Or force it to try over and again? 

I'm open to any and all suggestions. 



Thanks, 

Howie
