I was dissapointed of + ( verb+ing )

Hi to all, who love it when it snows and get tempted to rewrite their memories on this blank page of nature.

Please help me to write the sentence below correctly:

Thank you, I was disappointed of getting a proper answer.

1 ) Is it correct?
2 ) If yes, then Is it polite too?

Thank you very much in advance.

Because It took too long.
I got the proper answer after getting a couple of improper answers from two other respondents.

I am sorry

Don't confuse these two:

I was disappointed | not to get a proper answer.

"not to get" ~ "that I didn't get" is the opposite of "to get" ~ "that I got"
