Enhancing Control Interactivity Reliability in Automation Tests

[judexgauss]

I've encountered a problem with ensuring control interactivity during automation tests. Simply waiting for a control to be visible and enabled is often insufficient, as clicks may still fail to register. This could be due to additional rendering time required for the control.

While a common workaround is to use Thread.Sleep, this approach is fragile and can unnecessarily prolong the duration of the tests.

I would appreciate any suggestions or solutions to improve the reliability of control interactions without resorting to fixed delays.

There is a lot of tasks being registered on the dispatcher queue, being delayed. As a most common example - layout invalidation.
Typically, Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs(); is enough to empty dispatcher queue.

Thanks for reply!

Typically, Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs(); is enough to empty dispatcher queue.

Will try that but i'm curios which unusual situatuons could occur in which Dispatcher.UIThread.RunJobs(); is not enough?
