I'm trying to shorten the timeout when looking for non existing windows from 10 seconds to 2 seconds.
I set SearchTimeout of 'winNewDSTInfo' to be 2000ms, and used the following code:

Validate.NotExists(repo.fldAddEditDST.winNewDSTInfo.Path,repo.fldAddEditDST.winNewDSTInfo.SearchTimeout,"DTS window should be closed",false);

I expected the search to take 2 seconds, but it actually still takes 10 seconds.
Any ideas what I need to be doing differently?

Thanks,

This works for me....

validate.NotExists(path,200)

validate.NotExists(path,200)

Thanks.
I tried that and the behaviour is the same. The timeout is still 10 seconds, eventhough the output is:
Element for path '/form[...]' does not exist (No element found for path '/form[...']' within 200ms.).

What about?

Validate.NotExists(repo.fldAddEditDST.winNewDSTInfo.AbsolutePath,200);

No, still no change.

Hi,

I've tried it with Ranorex 2.3.3 and it works as expected. Which version of Ranorex you use?
Please can you also post the exact error message you get and the full path of your element.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Peter,

I'm sorry for the confusion.
I found there was another function call that caused the 10 second delay.
Validate.NotExists() indeed works as expected.

Thanks,
