    Hello denhenp,

     

    Congratulations on your solution :)

    I'd like to suggest the following improvent on your script:

     

    if(milisec >= 45000)
{
  Log.Error("Waited 45 sec for the window to close.. Stopping test");
      /*Stops the current Test Item*/
      Runner.Stop(true);
}

    and then... Setup TC not to stop on error, see http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/63574/

     

    Regards,

Henrik, this is for a similar situation in a Java SWT app:

 

 

         lMille = 0;
         do {
            w = Sys.Process("javaw").FindChild(["WndClass","Visible"],["SWT_Window0","True"],4);
            aqUtils.Delay(500);
            lMille += 500;
         } while (w.Exists && lMille < 45000);

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the feedback.

     

    The suggestion works fine, when the application has a lot of data to process and it takes some time to close the window.

    The problem ocurs when there’s little data to process for the application and it closes the window immediately.

    Then a ”Object not found exception” is thrown.

     

    I had to implement it like this:

    function WaitWindowClose()
{
milisec = 0;
//For some reason this only works for me, when I use a NameMappingItem in an if statement, combined with Exists.
//Otherwise I get the object not found exception.
if("NameMappingItem".Exists)
{
do
{
//You can't use the FindChild with 'NameMappingItem' - you have to use the 'Aliases'
w.Sys.Process("ProcessName").FindChild("MappedName","<Insert mapped name using 'Aliases'>",1);
milisec += 500;
Delay(500);
}while(w.Exists && milisec < 45000);
if(milisec >= 45000)
{
Log.Error("Waited 45 sec for the window to close.. Stopping test");
}
}
else
{
}

Log.Message("The window has successfully closed.");
}

     

    Thanks for pointing me towards a solution :)
