Help with WaitRectChanged

gchichester · Post by **gchichester** » Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:33 pm

Can anyone see a problem with code, the WaitRecChange is timing out,
the field I'm waiting on normally update in 45 sec. or less.
I'm having a hard time debugging because it's interacting with a program.

Thanks in advance for your help

Of course we don't know if you looking in the right place, but your WaitRectChanged> syntax is correct.

Once you get past whatever is causing it to hang, your Repeat> loop is going to fail. Two things.

- Your Repeat> line needs to include WRC_Result.
Repeat>WRC_Result

- Where are you acquiring a value for the variable "WRC_Result"? Nowhere in the snippet you've posted. And if you are in the repeat loop, how is "WRC_Result" value going to change to "True" so the loop can eventually end?

[quote]Where are you acquiring a value for the variable "WRC_Result"?[/quote]

I thought that when WaitRectChanged> sees a change it sets the variable WRC_Result to true ,based on what I read in the help file.
Are you saying that WRC_Result needs to be declared?
If so it not explained in help for the command .

As you can probably tell this is my first attempt at using a loop.
If there is a better way of testing the results of WaitRectChange please point me in the right direction.
