- If the given control fails to disappear before the specified timeout, an automation error is generated.
- If no value is specified for the time out 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.
- If more than one control exist that match the definition specified by the value of the control argument, the action waits only for the disappearance of the first matching control that it encountered.
- “nonexistence” of the specified control, in the context of this action, is satisfied by one of two criteria:
- no control exists that matches the definition specified by the value of the control argument.
- any matching control has its visibility attribute set to false, and the built-in setting load invisible controls is set to no.
- Note that, if the built-in setting load invisible controls is set to yes, only the nonexistence of a matching control (as opposed to a matching control simply being invisible) satisfies the “not exists” condition of this action.
- 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.
