Method Invocation for method Error
Hello Good Day!
We noticed a recurring Method invocation error whenever we run an automation file without any breakpoint on it.
To give context, we are calling a Focus then a SendKeys method of a <div> in order to open a Browse Dialog window in a Web Adapter, reason for these is that the Perform Click method of the button does not trigger open the Browse Dialog window.
The error occurs when the Control is passed on the WaitForCreate method and trying to do the Focus method.
But when we ran this certain code with a breakpoint in it, it does work.
Attached is the sample snippet of the code and the invocation error returned.

@rnikkoprado Your screenshot does not show ant calls to Focus, so perhaps you are seeing the error in a different place. I might be able to suggest something if I could see the RuntimeLog and the screenshot of the full automation.
One thing I will note in your automation however is that it seems unnecessarily complicated. Is the control "Pega_WF_cmbSelectFiles" already matched before you call SendKeys("{Enter}") on "Pega_BBF_frmAttach"? If not, then you do not need to wait for the Created event. You can use a WaitForCreate instead. In addition, inside of the setup event, you are performing a WaitForCreate on "Pega_BBF_frmAttach". If this returns false, you are jumping to your failure exit point (presumably since I cannot see this). I would suggest that you do not do this. The setup link is what occurs during the waiting period (what you've setup as your timeout for your WaitForEvent; which in this case is the default value of 15000 ms). What is going to happen is that ultimately your automation will reach the timeout event and essentially reach your exit twice. In general, you should only use the WaitForEvent in situations where a control is already created and you are waiting for it to get destroyed (unmatched) and then created again (re-matched).
