On Document Ready equivalent

Running Coded UI tests, my tests occasionally fail due to timing issues (control/ HTML element not on page yet).

Is there a "on document ready" equivalent for coded UI tests? Or maybe there's a best practice for handling this issue?

Use this to wait for the document to be ready.

this.PageMapWindow.PageMapDocument.WaitForControlReady()

where PageMapWindow and PageMapDocument are names of window and document controls respectively in your UIMap.

@AdrianHHH has the right answer however,

Sometimes I noticed that if you have continue on error set to true for each step it tends to skip bits, so try turning that off

Also you could do it the bad way and use

Playback.Wait();

There are several WaitForControl... methods that can be used. From your question, WaitForControlReady may be appropriate. The other methods include WaitForControlExist and WaitForControlNotExist that monitor the screen waiting until, respectively, a control appears or is removed; plus several other for more complex situations.
