Hello.
Does anybody know the best way to handle window appearance?
Ranorex - latest
OS- WIN10
app - desktop
Example:
After clicking on some button new window should be displayed, but it may takes more than 30 sec. I want to find out the best way to wait until window is present. Has ranorex some implemented things for that in box or should I implement some custom logic for that? Can somebody give me an example?

Hi,
What you are looking for is WaitFor Exists action/method, in which you can define wait timeout. This should solve your problem.

Hello.
Are you talking about Validate.Exists

Looks like I found what are you talking about:

Am I correct?

PS: Yes, WaitForExists method is what you are looking for in case of coded approach.

Can you provide an example of How to use WaitFor?
NOTE:
I'm not using recordings and ranorex studio. I have an rxPath of element and want to wait until that element exists

I can be wrong, but I think this method is for repo (info) items only? Is there any reason why you are not using Ranorex Studio? You don't have to use recordings if you think you can code things better. But with Ranorex Studio, you will have access to many things, which are not available in Visual Studio. You see, there are things, which are available only in Ranorex Studio (e.g. repo).

"Wait For" is for Repo items. If you are not using repository and Ranorex IDE you need to use another functions for this.
When I click on the button and expect some element to show up on another page.
What about this:
Code: Select all
public void WaitForElementToBeDisplayed(RxPath rxPath, Duration timeInterval)
{
Duration waitTime = 3000;
Duration totalTimeout = 0;
Element webElement = null;
while (!
(Host.Local.TryFindSingle
(rxPath, waitTime, out webElement)))
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(waitTime.Milliseconds);
totalTimeout = totalTimeout + waitTime;
if (totalTimeout.Milliseconds > timeInterval.Milliseconds)
{
throw new ElementNotFoundException("Elemet not found");
}
}
}
