FindWindow And TimeOut

[Vntalk]

Hi everybody,

I just Want To ask You Guys, sometimes we want absolutly find a window before take any action:

Dim window as Long
Do
window = Findwindow("test",vbnullstring)
loop until window <> 0

' Code Continue here

However, sometimes the windows fail to appear, and the program is just freeze (unfinite loop). So my question is is there any API or function to find a window with a timeout. Let say 5 minutes, if it fail then the function will abort.

You can just add the code which says there is no window and then exit the sub or function

timeout ?

You just want to keep looping the search for a whole of 5 minutes? That would be pretty memory consuming i believe.
