    This was SUPER helpful. Thank you very much!!

    Here is what I learned after using this example. 

    1. Basically, whatever arguments you can get to work for the WPFObject Method, you need to use the exact same arguments for the WaitWPFObject Method.

    2. I had misread the API and thought the WndCaption was optional. So I passed the ClassName, but left off the WndCaption so the function overloaded to assume I was passing in the Name.

    So when I was using 

    p = Sys.Process("VirtekIrisClient")
    o = p.WaitWPFObject("HwndSource: ShellView",timeout_ms)

    It wouldn't work. When I used

    p = Sys.Process("VirtekIrisClient")
    o = p.WaitWPFObject("HwndSource: ShellView","Virtek Iris",timeout_ms)

    It worked.
