Wait for visible element
Hi,
I have a question regarding elements waiting in websites. There is a method called "WaitForCreate" but it only waits for an element until it is loaded as an HTML element, it's not necessary to be visible and then the automation moves forward. So my question is how you are waiting for particular elements/pages in websites until you move forward or press/write something? what's it the best practice to do that?
Thank you.

The WaitForCreate is usually the standard (best practices) method to use to wait for an element before performing an action on it. Alternatively, you can use other events like the Webpage Loaded Event to wait for a webpage to finish loading.

Are you just saying that you want to trigger an automation off of an event? For example, the TextChanged Event (Press/Write something) or Navigation Event (Moving forward)?
More detail is probably needed for me to recommend what would be good approach to your question.

Something like that. I can simplify my question - how you are waiting for elements before moving forward (like in websites)?
