Need C# syntax for ChildObjectName inside of a WaitChild event

The online help shows me this:   if (Obj["WaitChild"](ChildObjectName, 0)["Exists"])   What I want to do is use ["Panel"](2) as my child object's name... but I can't figure out the syntax to set ...

    Try changing from FindChild to FindChildEx with an additional parameter for timeout (see my example above)

Sorry,

 

Should have mentioned that that syntax doesn't work either. :(

So, what do you get in the way of errors, if any?

 

Have you tried the following?

ChildObjectName = "[\"Panel\"](2)"

if (Obj["WaitChild"](ChildObjectName, 10000)["Exists"])

According to the help documentation, (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-all/waitchild-method.html), that second parameter, if it's set to 0, will return immediately... even if the object is not found.  By changing it to 10000, it actually sets a maximum time to wait for the object to appear.  It COULD be that the object may have a delay before it "Exists" and you need to actually wait for it.
