## 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|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.

## Implementation

returns 1 on success and 0 on no existing window 


## Example

waittillguiexist ('dlgOpen') 

This function will be useful, when some event is fired and after that if a new window is expected, we can use this function to wait for window to appear.
