Please check:

> Yes even I would like to see an example that uses the Element exists activity with a while loop. Please post an example urgently.

It might give you a starting point.

u can use click image activity with maximum timeout property  
means put 99999999 in timeout  
but u has to be sure it will come!

I looked through the flow. There i can see that it is using Element Exist activity which has an boolean output. But since i am working on remote desktop will Element Exist will work ? Since the UIpath will treat everything as an image. And Find Image output is not boolean

So in this case it will click as soon as the images appears ?
