Comments

When either of the first two syntax forms above is used, WaitUntilChanged will suspend execution of your macro or program (i.e. wait) until the text in the portion of the screen defined by the Area object changes, or a timeout occurs. If the third form is used, WaitUntilChanged will return immediately and the wait-type object returned can be used with the Waits collection, which allows several separate events to be monitored simultaneously. For more information on this, see help for the Waits object.
