[Wtr-general] WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown property or method

[Charley Baker]

You can pull watir/Waiter.rb from svn and use it with your current
version, download it into the watir directory alongside the
winclicker.rb file:
http://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/trunk/watir/watir/waiter.rb

wait until some particular control is accessible before using it. Such as:
require 'watir/waiter'
include Watir
waiter = Waiter.new
waiter.wait_until{@ie.button(:name, 'myButton').exists?}
