Hello,
Sometimes when I try to validate a "please wait temporary form" I receive the following error messageBox:
Validation failed. The element might no longer be available
What can I do to validate a form that appear one or two seconds (in normal case)?
Thanks for your help

Hello Tobias,
I think my question is not clear enough:
The message "Validation failed. The element might no longer be available" is generated by Ranorex Studio, when I try to validate a form...
Best regards

Hi,
that's because the mentioned form is not available when the validation is executed.
So, you have to, somehow, make sure, that the evaluation will be executed, when the form is still visible.
It also might be, that identifying the mentioned control may take a while, based on the RanoreXPath.
So please make sure that you choose a RanoreXPath as few generally as possible.
Kind regards,
Tobias

OK I understand, but it is not always possible, because I am in recording, not in running.
