I found how to wait the existence of an element but I don't find how to wait the element is visible .

I want to do the same thing but i want to wait the element is visible. Unfortunately I just see Exist and Not Exist as possible values for WaitFor statement.

Do you know how to do this please?

Hi,

You can add attribute @visible='true' to the xpath of given repo element. And then you can use WaitFor Exists, which means it will wait for the element until it becomes visible. Hope this helps.

Hi,

The attributes must be enclosed in square brackets. So the xpath should look like this...
../select[@visible='true']
I would suggest you to start with Ranorex xpath guide, to learn the xpath basics:
