WaitForString 1

[dvirgint]

Hello all,

I've always used the WaitForString function because it improves the speed execution of the macros I write. I have recently come across a page in my system that I haven't been able to use it with because there isn't a specific string I can wait for.

My question is: is there a way to tell the WaitForString function to wait for a string in a certain location in the screen? I've tried using Sess0.screen.WaitForString ("text to wait for"), 6, 6, 6, 9, but i'm not sure it's doing what I want it to do.

I was also wondering if there is a way to have the system wait until another page is loaded?

Thanks for any suggestions.

hi,

Do Until Sess0.screen.WaitForString ("text to wait for")
   DoEvents
Loop
'now you have the string returned to the screen and can proceed forward

sorry,

Try WaitForCursor at the rest coordinates (row,col) where the cursor resides after a command is issued and data is returned.

As usual Skip, you're a genius.

Thanks for the help.
