ElementInfo.Exists

[EmilS]

Env: WinXP Sp3, IE8, Ranorex 4.01

Hi!
Im currently automating an Web application that frequently uses js lightbox as modular windows.

My problem is this:
I have mapped a static element "e" on Page "p" to repository. To validate that the page "p" is visible i use eInfo.Exists(), no problems so far.
After opening and closing a lightbox on same page, the eInfo.Exists() always returns false.

RanorexSpy finds the element without any problems (before and after lighbox open/close). But by code i can not get this working.

I checked the State property on the Repo base element (to make sure page is not invalid)

Repo.AppName.Self.State

, it returns "complete"

*I use this structure on 20 more pages, to validate that a page is visible. Never seen this problem before.
It seems the lighbox-open/close action causes some problems.

public static bool IsVisible()
{
 return Repo.AppName.PageName.ElementInfo.Exists()
}

3 hours of troubleshooting , 5 min writing a post on forum . And now 5 minutes after posting i found the problem .

Element SearchTimeOut was too small, adding a few seconds to searchTimeOut solved the problem.
