How to Loop Forever until a Window Appears

Question:

I'm currently using WinWaitExist, but the window it is waiting for never exists if my users hit the Cancel button rather then entering their username and password. Is there another way to structure my code to handle this situation. When they do login, a new window appears.

Answer:

Something like:

while 1
   if !WinExist("The Window You're Waiting to Appear")
      ...some other action here, like Sendkeys to regenerate the screen
      Message("Password Entry", "You MUST enter your username and password.")
   else
      if winexist("The Window You're Waiting to Appear") then break
   endif
   TimeDelay(2)
endwhile
