Hi AlexKaras 

 

I've added Indicator.Hide() at the beginning of the test, it works but when the coming step is the Image Based Action, the indicator occurred again.

Hi,

 

Hm... I see...

I would ask Support about this.

 

Meanwhile, you may try not to hide but to move Indicator to some other screen area as per http://www.sqaforums.com/forums/automatedqa-smartbear-testcomplete/65641-move-indicator-post303096.html#post303096

 

Does this help?

 

Update:

Function from the above link updated to work with the modern TC:

 

// From: http://www.sqaforums.com/forums/automatedqa-smartbear-testcomplete/65641-move-indicator.html?X-ANT-WAF-Attempt=1#post303096
function MoveIndicator()
{
  var h, w, i;
  var X, Y;

  w = Sys.Process('Test*te').Window('TIndicator', '', 1);
  h = w.Handle;

  X = w.ScreenLeft;
  Y = w.ScreenTop;

  // Move the window
  for (i = 1; i <= 200; i++)
    Win32API.SetWindowPos(h, Win32API.HWND_TOP, i, i, w.Width, w.Height, Win32API.SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

  // Restore the original position
  Win32API.SetWindowPos(h, Win32API.HWND_TOP, X, Y, w.Width, w.Height, Win32API.SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
}

    Hi,

     

    Sorry it seems like couldn't help. When the coming step is the Image Based Action, the indicator occurred at the top right too.
