Thank you for the updates.

 

How will you decide whether we should use the Exists or visisble property of object when both the properties are available ?

 

Thanks

It depends on your needs.

.Exists property always exists for the objects and/or stubs obtained via .FindXXX() methods. For latters or if the object was destroyed/recreated .Exists will be set to false.

Object may exist (for example, on the web page) but be not visible. In this case the value of .Visible will be false.
