I'm not sure what version of TC you are using. Since WaitTime is 0, WaitAliasChild will return immediately. Assuming the child alias object exists, then the property Visible will return a value immediately too.

However, if the child alias object does not exist, WaitAliasChild will return a stub object immediately. Property Exists will return immediately, but Visible will return an error after a number of seconds - depending on the project auto-wait timeout.

Ideally, you should enclose your Visible property within an If statement

let ac = Aliases.ICS.WaitAliasChild("AddChannelWindwo", 0);
if (ac.Exists) {
	let ac_vis = ac.Visible;
}
