Question

HI,&nbsp;I want to verify&nbsp;that certain field doesn't exist on&nbsp;window. Is there any way do that?&nbsp;Thanks

If the .Exists method returns false that means it it not there.

Instead of directly using exists, use WaitAliasChild.&nbsp;e.g. Instead of saying Loginform.SubmitButton.Exists use Loginform.WaitAliasChild("SubmitButton").Exists&nbsp;More information here: https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/70275/

If the object doesn't exist, you are trying to log this:&nbsp;Reporter.vCheckpoint("Check Element Not Exists: PASS", "ClassName: " + NameMapAlias.ClrFullClassName + ": Object Not found ", 100 );&nbsp;Which I don't think will work as you are trying to retrieve (and write to the log) the classname of an element you have already established does not exist.&nbsp;Also - you can't always assume Exists alone will cover it. In my current application (Delphi mainly) some elements are destroyed (don't Exist) when not in use. Other are simply hidden. So Exists will still return true, but they are not visible.&nbsp;So I have a helper function that checks both properties and runs off a timer etc etc.
