    I think I got this time. Please, try this:

     

    while ( ! myRewindButton.Enabled || TimeOutNotReached )

Curiosity, I use the following idea, when I use a function that expects certain object:

 

Project.Variables.DelayDefault  : = Options.Run.Timeout;

 

Options.Run.Timeout : =  0;

 

//user function to wait for the object

Options.Run.Timeout : =  Project.variables.DelayDefault;

Hi,

 

You may also consider the .WaitProperty() method (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55099/) to eliminate the custom loop. Something like this (untested pseudo-code):

If (Not button.WaitProperty("Enabled", True, Options.Run.Timeout)) Then

  Call Log.Warning(aqString.Format("Button did not become enabled within %i seconds", Options.Run.Timeout / 1000))

End If

Call button.click
