    I'm not very good at BDD either... but the wait code.... it's alot simpler than that.

     

    So, let's say you have an object... Aliases.MyApp.MyForm.MyButton... and you want to wait for the button.  Do this.

     

    (code is pseudo JavaScript)

     

    if (Aliases.MyApp.MyForm.WaitAliasChild('MyButton', 20000).Exists) {
        Log.Message('The object existss')
        Aliases.MyApp.MyForm.MyButton.Click()
    }
    else Log.Message('The object does not exist')

    There are a variety of "wait" functions and methods built in to TestComplete which will wait for an object to exist.  If it does exist, the function actually returns the object itself.  If it does not exist, the function will return a "stub" object with one property (Exists) set to False.
