WaitForString

Wait for a string of text at the specified screen position.


Syntax

FlexScreen.WaitForString(Text, Position, [WaitMSec])


Parameters


Text

String, input



Text string to wait for.


Position

Integer, input



Integer value of the zero based ending screen position, which may be obtained by using the FlexScreen.Position method.


[WaitMSec]

Integer, input, optional



Number of milliseconds before the wait method will timeout.


Remarks

If the optional WaitMSec parameter is specified, it will be used as the maximum wait time before a timeout error occurs. If unspecified, FlexScreen.WaitTimeoutMSec will be used instead.


When a timeout occurs, a run time error will be generated and the macro will stop unless On Error Resume Next is in effect, in which case, WaitForString will return a false value.


Example

Sub Main()

  Ok = FlexScreen.WaitForString("Userid", FlexScreen.Position(10, 11))

  Ok = FlexScreen.SendKeys("MyUserID")

  Ok = FlexScreen.SendKeys(FlexKey.ENTER)

End Sub
