How is ActionMode WaitOn used?

• A. To perform a dynamic wait for a control property to reach a specified state.
• B. To enter values.
• C. To verify results.
• D. To save values to Buffer.

Answer: (A)

ActionMode WaitOn is used to pause execution until a specific property of a UI control matches a given state. It creates a dynamic wait where the test repeatedly checks the property's value or state against the expected condition, continuing only when the condition is met or a timeout occurs. This is especially helpful when the UI updates asynchronously after actions or loading, ensuring subsequent steps interact with the element in the correct state. In practice, you specify the control, the property to monitor (such as Enabled, Visible, Text), and the desired value or condition, along with a timeout (and optional polling interval). If the UI doesn’t reach the expected state in time, the step fails due to timeout. This differs from entering values (which inputs data into a control), verifying results (which checks a condition after actions), or saving values to a buffer (which stores data for later use).
