I am not able to wait in testcomplete for page element to load

Question

I am working on web application, using tool testcomplete with vbscript. pageTab = Sys.Process("iexplore").IEFrame(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton("Tieto Client Manager").Enabled

  do while(pageTab <> True)
      Sys.Process("Explorer").Refresh 
      pageTab = Sys.Process("iexplore").IEFrame(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton("Tieto Client Manager").Enabled
      Sys.Process("iexplore").IEFrame(0).CommandBar.TabBand.TabButton("Tieto Client Manager").Refresh
  loop


  pageBusyState = Sys.Process("iexplore" , 2).Page("*").Busy
    do while(pageBusyState <> False)
    pageBusyState = Sys.Process("iexplore" , 2).Page("*").Busy
  loop

With this code i can wait for new page but not able to wait for control loading page.

Which version of TestComplete do you have? It is unclear what exactly task you want to achieve with your code. Please clarify what you mean by 'control loading page'. — Dmitry Nikolaev, Aug 29 '13 at 06:23

The best approach to wait until a dynamic page is ready is to wait for a specific object on this page. For example, this can be the first object you need to work on the page. This approach is described along with a couple of other approaches in the Waiting For Web Pages help topic.

I can able to wait for page, but i am not able to wait if first object performing action, depends on first object second object will be enabled or disabled. In such case i want to wait for the specific control or the rest of the controls on the page. Consider page is fully loaded. – user1053540 Sep 10 '13 at 10:03

  Timeout=False

  'Check IEXPLORE Process running on window 

  If Sys.Process("IEXPLORE").Exists  Then

    Set obj = Sys.Process("IEXPLORE").Page("*") 
    Set PageObj = Eval(obj.FullName)
    'Set Default Timeout
    intDefaultTimeout=1000
    'Do until Page Object readyState=4 or Timeout
    Do  
      Set PageObj= Sys.Process("IEXPLORE").Page("*")
      'Check for Timeout
      If aqConvert.StrToInt(DateDiff("n",intTimerStart,Now))>= aqConvert.StrToInt(intDefaultTimeout)  Then
        Timeout=True
      End If
    Loop Until PageObj.ReadyState = 4 Or Timeout=True   

  Else 

     'Check iexplore 2 Process running on window 

    If Sys.Process("iexplore",2).Exists Then
      Set obj = Sys.Process("iexplore",2).Page("*") 
      Set PageObj = Eval(obj.FullName)
      'Set Default Timeout
      intDefaultTimeout=Project.Variables.prjDefaultTimeout
      'Do until Page Object readyState=4(page loaded fully or request finished and response is ready) or Timeout      
      Do  
        Set PageObj= Sys.Process("iexplore",2).Page("*")
        If aqConvert.StrToInt(DateDiff("n",intTimerStart,Now))>= aqConvert.StrToInt(intDefaultTimeout)  Then
          Timeout=True
        End If
        'Check still the page is in busy mode or page loaded fully .
      Loop Until PageObj.ReadyState = 4  Or Timeout=True 
    End If   
  End If 

 'Calling Activate method to apply a property collection corresponding to a run mode   
  PageObj.Activate

Describing your code and how it answers the question would make the code even more useful. — AdrianHHH, Jan 07 '14 at 11:44
