Object Browser refreshing

How do I keep the object browser from refreshing  and collapsing the object tree when trying to view objects?   It can be anywhere from five to twenty seconds before a refresh.



Thanks.

    Hello,

    The Object Browser is refreshed only when either a process is created or destroyed, or when you perform actions that require the object tree updating (for example, when you expand a process node in the Object Browser).

    You can try filtering out unnecessary processes in the Object Browser so that they do not interfere when exploring your application under test. To do this, please disable the Show all user processes and Show system processes items on the Object Browser toolbar or use the Process Filter dialog.

    If this does not help, please specify the version of TestComplete you are using, the application you are exploring and the exact actions you are performing when the Object Browser is refreshed.

    Thank you.

    By the way, you can also store a snapshot of your tested application to explore it later. To learn how to do this, please see the"Creating Snapshots in Object Browser" Help topic.
