Hi Murugan



If you are using Aliases, is it possible for you to map the command window so that you can use the WaitAliasChild function.  Something along the lines of





 while (<application>.WaitAliasChild("<window>", 500).Exists)

 {

    delay(1000);

 }



This will test, for half a second, to see if your command window still exists. If so, it will wait for one second, then test again.  When the test fails, i.e. the command window is closed, the loop will end.

Stephen.
