sleep and machine independence

[fhanna]

I use the Find function supplying the search criteria from an array. If the data is not found I then send the ESC or ENTER keystoke (have tried both) and send the next element until I have a hit. I have no problem getting this to work but have to adjust based on machine speed via a sleep command an/or WinWaitDelay parameter change.

Long story short: I want to maximize my run time and have machine independence. In execution if I am running on a slow machine the ENTER or ESC key does not clear the Microsoft Internet Explorer "Finished searching the document" dialog box unless the sleep time is increased. Fastest machine I do not have to use sleep. So, is there a way to avoid sleep commands. I have issued the WinWaitActive command for the Find but does not work. I am wanting to utilize WinWaitDelay = 001 and SendKeyDelay = 01. I have gotten around the SendKeyDelay of truncation by reading back the data and comparng to sent data.

Any feedback is appreciated.
