Syntax

waittillguiexist ('<window name>')

Description

If the given window name exist, this function returns 1. If window doesnot exist, then this function returns 0. Difference between guiexist and waitguiexist is, waitguiexist waits for maximum 30 seconds. Still the window doesn't appear, then 0 is returned. We can set the environment variable 'GUI_TIMEOUT' to change the default waiting time.
