Setting a timeout value for Exists method

I would like to use the Exists function to determine if a message box has appeared or not and if so, click the yes button so the document can continue loading.  The message box won't always appear so ...

Hi Eric,


The statement if (Sys.Process("notepad").WaitWindow("#32770", "About Notepad", 1, 5000).Exists) takes 5 seconds because you set the Timeout parameter of the WaitWindow method to 5000 milliseconds.


Even if the Auto-wait timeout project property is set to 10, this statement will take 5 seconds, because this option affects neither the WaitWindow method nor the Exists method.


I cannot reproduce the situation when var window = Sys.Process("notepad").WaitWindow("#32770", "About Notepad", 1, 5000)

if (window.Exists) takes 15 seconds.
