What can be checked to ensure that only visible elements are matched in Active Accessibility?

In Active Accessibility, ensuring that only visible elements are matched is crucial for effective automation. The Invisible attribute plays a key role in this process. When this attribute is checked, it allows the automation tool to filter out any elements that are not currently visible on the screen, meaning that the automation will only interact with elements that are actually presented to the user. This is important for the accuracy and reliability of the automation as it prevents the tool from trying to interact with hidden elements, which can cause errors or unexpected behaviors.

The other aspects listed, such as the Z-order, the size of the element's bounding box, and the element's ID property, do not specifically address visibility. The Z-order may help in determining which elements are on top of others but does not inherently filter for visibility. Similarly, evaluating the size of the bounding box can indicate whether an element is rendered on the screen, but it doesn’t provide a direct method for ensuring that only visible elements are matched. The ID property is useful for identifying elements, but like the other options, it doesn’t relate to the visibility state of those elements. Thus, the focus on the Invisible attribute specifically aligns with the requirement to check for visible elements in Active Accessibility.
