Handling Indicator manually
I've been messing around with Indicator for a while and I feel like in some cases I would like to stop TestComplete from pushing its actions to the Indicator message box. For exemple, when I'm us...

have a look at the indicator object:
indicator.PopText
Yes, I know how to handle my own messages...
I want to disable testcomplete's auto messages...
For example:
If a field doesnt exists on screen, it shows the default message (waiting for field "x") and has its own timeout...
I want to disable that, is it possible?
Before any method that you want to hide the indicator, call "Indicator.Hide()". Then, when you want to re-enable the indicator, call "Indicator.Show()". See https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/84805/

Yes, I know that as well but I still want to use the indicator for my own purposes...
If I hide the indicator I cant post my own messages, thats why I need to deactivate only the automatic messages sent from the Test Runner...
That's what was alluded to earlier.
What you do is, before the method that you want to use your custom message, you call Indicator.PushText("My custom text"). Then, when the method executes, it will use that text rather than the default text. Then, to restore default text, call "Indicator.PopText()" after the call.
Have you tried this?
It would be helpful if you could post code snippets of what you are attempting. It may help to figure out what is going wrong in your implementation.
