How to detect title of dialog first then only decide which script to be executed? VBScript

Hi, I'm using TestComplete11 with VBScript. My situation is I have a desktop application which is RobotArm and it developed into 32bit and 64bit.   The RobotArm(x32) has the starting dialog named...

    EVery process has a propery called ProcessType.  If it's 32 bit, this will have a value of x86, if it's 64 bit, this will have a value of x64.

     

    So, you could rewrite your code like this.

     

    sub InitialDialog

set w=sys.Process("RobotArm").WaitWindow("#32770", "MAIN PAGE",-1,1000)
set w1=sys.Process("RobotArm").WaitWindow("#32770", "Home",-1,1000)

if Sys.Process("RobotArm").ProcessType = "x86" then
    w = Sys.Process("RobertArm").WaitWindow("#42770", MAIN PAGE", -1, 10000);

else w = Sys.Process("RobertArm").WaitWindow("#32770", "Home", -1, 10000)
    w.Window("Button", "SKIP", 1).Click

end if

end sub

     

    Side Note... investigate NameMapping.  You can identify objects a LOT easier and a LOT more reliably when they are mapped.  Your "Home" page could even be contingent mapping where the choices of how to identify it are built in so you don't even need to do the "WaitWindow".

What you have is pretty good code for what you want.  However, your time out (currently set to 1000) may not be enough.  I'd bump that up to something like 10000 if your application takes longer than a second for the dialog to appear.

I had tried to increase the waiting time but if I applied the script on the 64bit application, I have to wait the 10 seconds to pass as the "HOME PAGE" won't appear. 

 

Is there any method to avoid this? That can make the script more efficient. Thanks.

      Hi,

       

      Another approach is to use a code like this:

      Set w = Sys.Process("RobotArm").WaitWindow("#32770", "regexp:(MAIN PAGE)|(Home)", -1, 30000)

      If (w.Exists) Then

        Call w.Window("Button", "SKIP", 1).Click()

      Else

        ' Not found

      End If
