Ranorex Forum

Hi there,

I have a user code module that waits until a dialog is visible before going to the next step. See below
However the Ranorex script fails due to Ranorex not finding the form (Search Timeouts at 10 seconds).

The actual form in the repository has a timeout of 30 seconds though. Why would it be timing out at 10 seconds? Is there a way I can set the 10 second timeout to say 1 minute?

Brad.

The timeout is different because you don't use repository item but create a new one from RxPath. Either use repository item or use this code:

public void WaitForPromptDialog()
{
    Ranorex.Form frmPrompt;
    bool found = Host.Local.TryFindSingle("/form[@controlname='Prompt']", new TimeSpan(0,1,0), out frmPrompt);
    if (!found) {
        Report.Screenshot();
        Report.Snapshot(Host.Local);
        Report.Failure("Could not find Prompt.");
        // leave either by throwing exception or returning
        throw new Exception();
    }
    while (frmPrompt.Visible.Equals(false))
    {
        Delay.Milliseconds(500);
    }
}

EDIT: if you're using repository it is recommended that you keep using repository. Otherwise you need to maintain RxPaths in 2 places.

Hi thanks for the example,

I have tried using the following code which seems to do the same thing. Is there any differece in your code and the one above?

I think Validate posts a success message to report also, but I'm not sure. We don't use validate a lot here.
