• tree node
• menu item
• list item (that is, an item in a list view, list box, or combo box)
• table cell

Value units

seconds

Default value

3

Notes

• An item is available when it is visible, enabled, or it has a bounding rectangle.
• In the case of tree nodes and menu items: TestArchitect waits within the time-out, specified by item wait, for each level of the node path, or the menu path.
• For example (assuming the default setting of 3 seconds is in effect):
  • Check the existence of tree node: node A > node B > node C: the automation waits up to 3 seconds for each sequential node to become available.
  • Check for the nonexistence of tree node: node A > node B > node C:
    • The automation waits up to 3 seconds for node A to become available;
    • Upon node A’s appearance, the automation waits up to 3 seconds for node B to become available;
    • Upon node B’s appearance, the automation waits up to 3 seconds for node C to become unavailable.
