Hi la2texas,

 

You can use TryFind to search and wait for objects:

// Wait for the Notepad window for 25 seconds
ITopLevelWindow wndNotepad;
process.TryFind<ITopLevelWindow>(new WindowPattern()
{
  WndClass = "Notepad"
}, 1 /* depth */, 25000 /* ms timeout */, out wndNotepad);

if (wndNotepad != null)
{
  // found
}

There are TryFind overloads with and without explicit timeout. If the timeout is not specified, the default timeout of 10 seconds is used (it is controlled by the Driver.Options.General.AutoWaitTimeout value).
