Try using WaitAliasChild like so:
Aliases.browser.pageRedOwlReports.formAspnetform.panelReportPanel.WaitAliasChild(cellResourceActivityVolumes,5000).Exists
Thats it Ryan. The loop issue is solved but the counter doesn't seem to work because, TestComplete "delays" until 'Activity Volume' is displayed on the screen. Meaning [ Counter<= 5000] condition is true all the time.
Hi Chrisb, the result is same even if I give full path to the object. Variable pagereport is actually giving the path name. I highly believe that the counter isn't working.

Well no...the counter will not delay for exactly 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds) as you have specified because there will be an additional delay with the .Find method. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Do you want this to fail within 5 seconds if the object is not found? If that is your goal I would suggest using WaitNNN method on the object with a 5000 MS timeout specified.
If you provide the objects FullName I can provide an example.
Thanks Ryan, thats it.
when I put 100ms delay, TC was actually taking longer than 5s which made it look like counter didn't work.
If i change the delay time to 1000 ms and counter<= 2500, its working fine.
I would love to use WaitNNN method (never knew). Here is the objects full name:
"Aliases.browser.pageRedOwlReports.formAspnetform.panelReportPanel.cellResourceActivityVolumes"
or
Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("http://redowl-web1/RedOwl/RSReport/RSReport.aspx").Form("aspnetForm").Panel("content").Panel("panels").Panel("rightPanel").Panel("rightContent").Panel("mainColumnTop").Panel("reportPanel").Panel("report_panel").Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel("reportViewerDiv").Panel("ContentPlaceholderRight_ContentPlaceHolderMain_UpdatePanel1").Panel("ContentPlaceholderRight_ContentPlaceHolderMain_reportViewer").Table("ContentPlaceholderRight_ContentPlaceHolderMain_reportViewer_fixedTable").Cell(4, 2).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel("P0639d4ddab204b1b8e8079d362352638_2_oReportDiv").Table(0).Cell(0, 0).Panel("P0639d4ddab204b1b8e8079d362352638_2_gr").Panel("P0639d4ddab204b1b8e8079d362352638_2_gr").Panel("P0639d4ddab204b1b8e8079d362352638_2_11xB_gr").Table(0).Cell(1, 1)
Its a dynamically generated website so name mapping is really helpful.
