- If the given control fails to appear before the specified timeout, a warning is generated. By default (that is, unless the notice level setting has been modified in your test) you are presented with a modal dialog box asking whether to continue the test.
- If no value is specified for the timeout(second) argument, the current value of the built-in setting object wait is used. object wait, if not otherwise set in a setting action line, defaults to a value of 20 seconds.
- Whenever possible, it is recommended that you use the built-in object wait setting, along with the appropriate built-in action, in lieu of wait for control.
- This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>
is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>
, the action is skipped during execution.
