Result Value

The Page object that provides scripting interface to the loaded web page and its child elements.

Remarks

The WaitPage method is added only to window objects corresponding to WebBrowser controls.
The WaitPage method waits for the corresponding Page object to become available. It does not wait for the page content to be fully downloaded. See Wait For Web Pages for information on specifics of loading web pages and for code samples.
