Wait timeout and waitproperty not working as expected

I need some help figuring out what I’m doing wrong with setting the timeout values in testcomplete. First, the only reason I’m creating the type of function below is that the WaitProperty does not do...

    Hi,

     

    > Anytime I have ever used WaitProperty, it waits the ENTIRE time value that is specified in the WaitTime parameter.

     

    Can you provide a real code snippet that does not work as expected?

     

    There are questions for your CheckForExists() function but I would like to see the non-working code first.

okay, i must have been coding the method incorrectly. as i was attempting to run it in order to provide you with the code snippet you requested i took care to really examine the documentation for the method. pretty sure that instead using a string value for the first parameter (e.g. "WPFControlText") i was putting in the actual mapped name of that property for the object (e.g. Alias. . . . . . .WPFControlText). Once i put in the string value it stopped waiting as soon as the text value on the screen was the same as the value I was waiting for it to be. 

 

Thanks!
